"And Mick, how tall would Maurice McCabe be? I can't see any reference to it in the book."

Atlantic Dawn

They need a new Commissioner from outside the country.

Lady Chatterton

Fmr. Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan got it so wrong, he was the one that was DISGUSTING for attacking Sgt McCabe.

This is a really good interview from Mick Clifford.

A great Irish journalist which does put most of the other print journalists here out to shame.

No way!

They should call Kit Kats Marathons, so then the 2 finger ones could be Half Marathons.

Wait, surely a two finger Kit Kat should be called a F*ck off??

Oh I love it.

But yeah, great name for a Kit-Kat. 1/4 marathon, 1/2 marathon etc-

Just play the punchbag game, then send him on his way

Clare Daly comes in for a lot of stick but she deserves credit for supporting Maurice McCabe and highlight the issues within the Gardaí.

A lot of the criticism she used to get on the Vincent Browne thread, whenever she appeared on the show, was about her hair or the fact that she's not full of false bonhomie. I know someone who, as part of his job, has to deal with various north Dublin politicians on a regular basis (often in adversarial circumstances) and he says Clare Daly is by far the most reliable and straightforward to deal with.

I'm watching this thread, while watching Jools; so it takes the pain away somewhat.

Nah, i was watching it before this, but i want something nice & easy to watch later, so i'm recording Jools.

Evening all. I see Ray doesn't have the desk anymore to shield him from his guests. Old school.

Speed and The Commitments are on tomorrow night at this time... wasted showing them on a Sunday night.

This is sandwiched between Angeline Ball's new show, let's hope it's not a Ball's up of her last show,
Hmmm Angela Sandwich!

What did ray read out on radio during the week, to spare us reading it out & buying the paper :rolleyes:

A third of Garda stations don't even have internet access, the organisation needs a massive revamp from the top down.

Some don't have garda cars for months :mad::o

I wonder if this man would be available?

Lady Chatterton

Our print/broadcast media depresses the life out of me, mainly because of the dominance of INM & Communicorp.

We need more brave journalists like Mick Clifford, well done to the Irish Examiner for supporting his efforts.

I'm not. It's just a bit cold, that's all.

What's the attitude of Gardai towards Maurice McCabe? Has it changed since the alcohol test fiasco I wonder?

Lady Chatterton

This lads sounds like James Nesbitt.

Harry Angstrom

What's this? D'Arcy does "Noel's House Party"?

Drives me insane.

I'm the same. If I read out a paragraph from a newspaper to the Mrs I start stuttering and stammering. It's best hand it to her and let her read it herself.

Remember Noel Edmonds used to do this on the Big House Party but the person at home didn't know it was going to happen.

Welsh Megaman

Patty O Multiquote is back!

Using none of my quotes though

BillyBobBS

First time im watching this and the last.

martingriff

Darcy not liking what Mick Clifford in relation to good Garda not lambasting them. So to be spiteful does not say name of book

mtoutlemonde

They have now copied a bit from Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway!!!

Harry Angstrom

That Arcade Fire song is a rip off of an Yvonne Elliman song.

The former head of the London Metropolitan Police Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has been mentioned.I hope he gets it.

Welsh Megaman

Methinks it'll be like that section of 'Don't Forget Your Toothbrush' with Chris Evans.

Find a household item, then throw it out of the window.

Speaking of Noel, I watched three minutes of his new show 'Cheap Cheap Cheap' this week. What a truly odd experience that was! I am still having nightmares.

If you're having difficulty recoding your programmes, maybe you need one of these?

In fairness, this is a decent enough section. It's the lighthearted Saturday night nonsense we crave. Rather this than "So tell me, how did you feel when the doctor told you you were dying from cancer and please, spare no detail."

TheRiverman

Just a quick flick back from Match Of The Day.What ****e is this ?

Welsh Megaman

Ray asks them to find their TV licence, but they've already burned it.

Darcy eyeing those high heels....

She's destroyed with tatoos, it's like someone taking a Ferrari and plastering it with stickers they picked up in Halfords.

I can handle the bad interviews.

But I hate HATE the novelty crap. Hate it. It's soooo lame.

It's 100% lame.

It's Lame-iserables.

I can never understand why people get excited by Mick Wallace's t-shirts and Clare Daly's hair. Charlie Haughey wore Charvet shirts but he needed handouts from wealthy businessmen like Ben Dunne to pay for them. There is way too much emphasis on style over substance, unfortunately.

Some people have very short memories, the bankers that almost bankrupted us wore expensive suits but they had zero morals or integrity.

''You got taller''

Also on BBC2 this week ... there's nothing happening in Politics much either in Britain or Worldwide, so Newsnight interviewed Sparks.

You just don't get his on Primetime ... they should have Mir talking to Stiff Little Fingers about their legacy and that.
