Apology to lads in jail!?!?

You can’t make a statement like that and not be asked “and what about the victims of crime?”

Absolutely. This is when, given enough time, the councillor eventually turns into an apologist for scumbaggery..

Say Your Number

Paddy Power and his f*cking "banter" make me feel ill.

dirkmeister

Lisa O Neill the best part of the show.


For anyone having a tipple tonight, throw on “Bobby D”, it’s class.

I think that was taken slightly out of context.

What I got from it was the fact that there are many children destined for a life of crime due to their surroundings and sometimes lack of any kind of parental support.

I work with some young people in this category and getting the early support of social workers is next to impossible often and children get left growing up with chaotic upbringing.

There is only one solution when they are adults and sadly that is imprisonment.

Get to f*ck

Indeed. “When we go back home" on holidays, weird comment considering they fled here as asylum seekers and were in direct provision. I found the trust comment a bit rich.

I just don't get this spoken word poetry lark at all, rte have it on a lot nowadays anyway. Are people into it or are rte trying to convince us to get into it?!

mistersifter

really enjoyed the chat with Eamon and wished it would have went on longer. He is 75 now and still doin podcasts so fair play. Hopefully he's in good health. Im not sure he is though - I saw him on the street a while back and thought the same.

The odd bit is all right, I wouldn't go searching it out though, (says me after searching yer wans poem and posting it earlier)

Annoys me no end when it's used in an ad for some bank or insurance company though

The girls were great

Nice to see new Irish people relaxed and being themselves, a lessser rte interviewer wouldn’t dare do impersonations good to see people having a laugh for a change

Enjoyed Eamonn and the 2 girls. Thought they'd be 2 doses when they came out already skitting to themselves but spent the whole time laughing along with them. Great craic.

Yeah I think you have to give him the benefit of the doubt here. As part of his everyday work he sees the kids that are destined to only end up in prison. It's not their fault per say. It's the hand they have been dealt. From the outside looking in its easy to say WTF at his comments.

I could have listened to them for the hour. And maybe by then he could have asked them a question. No matter!

I would need to study the poem in a lot more detail before I could comment like that

As for the home part , who cares really they can have two homes

They claim to have fled here for their lives. Now they return to the same place they claim to have fled on holidays.

Don’t trust men, indeed.

I don’t know the context of the poem so can’t comment, do you ?

I’m sure there’s more depth to it than trusting men if it’s on the leaving cert.

“ through a chink to wide there is no wonder”

Is that racist against the Chinese?

Agree - if it wasn’t such an iconic song, it wouldn’t get an airing.
First listen is wtf, potentially interesting but with every listen it turns an uplifting joyous singe into a whingy dirge

Surely the lyrics of the song are bittersweet.

"Well I didn’t see much future
When I left the Christian brothers school
So i waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
Sometimes when I’m reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they’ll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again.

(Chorus)
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams

Well the ould fella left me to shannon
Was the last time I traveled that road
And ass we turned left at claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I traveled that well worn track
And I know that things will be different
If I ever decide to go back.

(Chorus)
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams

Now as I tumble down highways
Or on filthy overcrowded trains
There’s no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
Behind all those muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and the turns on the road
From the square to the town of the tribes

(Chorus)
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Yes I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams"

Missed a couple of minutes of the start of this last bit and I still have no idea what he's talikng about Horse whisperer Googles "horse whisperer"

ETA (after googling): Or do horses whisper to him?

Joe is an addiction counsellor who trained in a model which allows him to work with an equine specialist to bring horses into the counselling work. The horses are there to enhance the work. On the most simple level working this way takes the session out of a room where clients often feel uncomfortable into a more natural setting where the client is more free and relaxed, either in an arena or preferably/weather permitting into a field.
The role of the horses is simply to be themselves, they are extremely aware of their surroundings and react to what they see and hear. Horses are extremely tuned into our body language so when a client feels a certain way the horses will react to that. For example, when working with a genuinely anxious or upset person the horses tend to move closer and often place their nose close to or on the person, if someone comes in saying they feel fine when they don't, horses pick up on that discrepancy and become more wary keeping some distance. These reactions are observed and can lead to questions or exercises, the interaction with the horses also allows clients to externalise and or see things in a third person perspective which makes issues easier to talk about and resolve.
I'm trying to be brief here so I'll just say that what Joe does is very effective work based on an increasing body of research which is coming in from all over the world.
