I would, Sean said they only rang him half hour before the show. He now has 2 days to prepare for Duffy's ambush. I doubt Duffy will have Sean back on really !!

Another SJW on twitter accusing Sean of being a racist:

Mark Malone ‏@soundmigration 59m59 minutes ago
Everyone involved with refugees and people seeking asylum have been saying Sean Deegan was a racist judge for years. He proves it #liveline

The DP centre in Sligo is on Convent Hill. Nobody calls it that anymore. It's been dubbed Congo Hill for the last few years.

Well..... what a breath of fresh air Sean was!!!

Refused to be drawn off line, or swamped by all the ****e Joe dragged into the conversation.

One thing I will never understand, though, is why callers never, ever (bar Bryan from Moscow - take a bow Bryan) are driven to let a roar of

"STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH JOE".

More absolutely disgraceful tabloid muckraking by Joe.

And then at the end - TULLAMORAY :eek:

I really, truly and seriously thought you lot were just slagging about something he'd said years ago, but no - he came right out with it, deadpan, no giggle or "so to speak", just like that's how you say it.

WTF???

PeterTheNinth

"Well we know her as Nicole Tandy, but that's obviously not her real name"

I was hoping that Sean would butt in and say "What Joe? She's even lying about her name, never mind her back story"

Spanish Eyes

I think you are all wrong about the encounter between JD and Sean.

That was merely Duffy's cute way of giving "balance" to the program by letting an educated and experienced person in the field (so to speak!) give the other side.

The rest of it was faux outrage by JD, so to speak. Just for balance like.

It was great just the same. Go Sean!

RTE are planning to cut off Liveline to our elderly and lonely diaspora from next May. A disgusting attack on vulnerable people who have listened to liveline for over 35 years, many of them have nothing to look forward to each day except Liveline. We are planning a protest next month, find out more on twitter and Facebook #savertelw252

RTE cite costs as a reason to cut LW. If they cut the salaries of Joe Duffy, D'Arcy, Tubridy etc. they could easily pay for it.
But they don't want to do that, because RTE operates for the benefit of its employees, not the public.
Apart from that, if Liveline is all you have to look forward to, you have my sympathies Read a book instead.

I thought I'd read all the sad things in the world already.

Please let Seán ask her now how she got here and how she financed it.

What's money got to do with it?

A refugee can be middle-class. In fact, you're more likely to be targeted as a journalist or someone in an influential position, than someone who is poor.

Sean Deegan doesn't seem to get this either. He's been criticised by people who know what they're talking about.

Lads ye have a very different view when Duffy's salary is being discussed.

Have ye ever read these judgments? They're mostly copy and paste jobs, with brief biographical introductions that can be written-up during an episode of Fair City. Not bad for 300 euro a pop.

We don't know their financial position as Joe never asked that important question as to how the trip was financed and how much it cost.

Lets just say for a minute that one of the callers was a multi millionaire so could basically travel anywhere in the world within reason, whoy would they decide to come to Ireland of all places, doesn't make any sense.

Who are these people that 'know what they are talking about'?
Give us an example.

As Sean Deegan pointed out - correctly IMO - if his decisions were that out of kilter then he'd have been up in front of the High Court explaining himself a lot more than he was (if he was at all?) He stated again and again that he was simply implementing the refugee laws as they were at the time.

Have you? I haven't, didn't know they were a matter of public record tbh.

And as for the references to income - it was the snide/sneering tone of Joe's questions that infuriated me - he can't just ask a straight question, but seemed to want to imply that Deegan was in it for the money, or something along those lines (or indeed some other insinuation altogether, who knows what goes on in Joe's head). He may have been, for all I know - but why couldn't Joe just ask that? As it was he just left a cloud of suspicion and innuendo over the whole matter.

And what business of his is it anyway? Joe's salary is a matter of public record as it should be since it's paid by the national broadcaster.
