The Tommy Tiernan Show Thread - Mod warning, see OP

Pity there's not more guests like her, sick of listening to same crowd every week with the same story over and over.

I think she was on the radio before.

"So what's the worst illness to die from?"

I thought this interview was a bit boring at first, but fair play she's sound. This was class.

macapaca

She's sound out.

Isn’t it great to hear a guest actually being allowed to talk and not being interrupted all the time with stupid questions. Darcy would be throwing questions at her.

It must be one of the best shows on TV....such a great antidote to the staged Q&A on the chat show circuit with people peddling something like a book, film, something something

Much prefer Tommy’s show to the same old D list celebs and RTE “personalities” interviewed on the Late Late every week. So much more like an interesting conversation you’d have in the pub.

Tubs would focus on the morbid, "what was the worst you had to embalm", "how do you feel when you are working on a child", "what about when it s bad crash".... 100% he would go down that path.

First time looking in .Whats with the hat?

Why do they flee so far away from their own country?

Talking to an embalmer about death? Yeah i can imagine alright.

This is grand. She had to leave Zimbabwe, but cant say why. No direct flights from Zimbabwe to Ireland. Another story with more questions than answers

Disappointed rte sought out a refugee. No doubt they screened a few during their search and chose this woman. Has to be a good believable case and nothing about the chancers.

sligojoek

How many other safe countries was she in before she got here?

Jinglejangle69

We are absolute mugs.

Get a plane here and that's that.

Wonder how the 81year old Irish lady that was found sleeping on the streets is.

She's still waiting for a decision from authorities 5 years later? Grade A Bull$&@t.

irishproduce

She's well versed and coached in the finances line. He interrupted her there but she pressed through with her point about the cost of asylum centres. That's good coaching.

sligojoek

Show is being used as a platform for Charlie Flanagan's propaganda

In addition to fleeing danger or persecution, there's also the long-term idea of wanting to be able to make a decent life. And Ireland, for all its faults, has a reputation as a nice, safe place to bring up children.

Mena Mitty

I'm a better refugee than you.

Car99

Come on Tommy ask her why she chose ireland ?

Arghus

Ah, lads.

Keep being classy Boards...

Read somewhere today that it was a fake news story.
We have 10.5K homeless of our own.

take everything

It would be great if they asked these questions. To give a better understanding of their plight. But RTE won't be asking any hard questions.

This one is at the top of the class in the refuge center.

newcavanman

This is utter ****e. She had to have changed flights in London, Paris or somewhere similar. Why not seek asylum there? Why come to Ireland, all we have to offer is the lowest rejection and deportation rates in Europe and the highest social welfare?
