Hopefully she never wants kids and Ryan has had enough.

I'd like her to have kids and for them to rebel against her.
However I'd feel sorry if she had a boy for the going by the statements she has made in the past.

Im getting this from earlier on on this thread, it could be total bollocks of course.

She may be a nutter yes, but he's a bit strange too - to say the least.

It will all fall apart when he discussed the budán he gets for JFK.
Jonny wasn't exactly a "woke bae".

The Tupac vs Crooners dinner music is a recipe for disaster too.

What?? I thought Tubridy was happily married no?

No, he separated from his wife with well over a decade now. He did have a relationship with Aoibhinn ni Shuilleabhain which also ended.
Claire Byrne, Gráinne Seoige, Síle Seoige and Miriam O'Callaghan marriages all ended.

Jaysus I don't keep up to date with the Irish goss at all. He always gives the impression of a real old settled married man.

Having worked in a bookshop which Ryan frequents, he seems to have decent taste judging by the books he talks about and recommends on his radio show. If it is true then I'm very surprised he'd find her interesting because her writing is utter tripe. I took great pleasure in never recommending any of her books to anyone.

That is a serious step down from Aoibhinn.

He is absolutely piledriving it into her from behind while she's bent over the side of the couch.

Ah lads. Lads
In the grand tradition of people like LON, can I suggest that this conversation now requires a "TRIGGER WARNING" for graphic mental images of Ryan Tubridy's hairy ballsack?

Ye, she's beautiful. He was doing very well for himself.

FFS can we not keep it relevant to her lame views and her hypcrisy?

She's currently staying in the Fitzwilliam hotel and is wearing a dress from Dunnes and three people in Grafton Street stopped to admire it!

Roisin Ingle also Tweeted about her new book!

Cannot even explain how much I enjoyed reading #AlmostLove by @oneilllo ... as usual she hits the nail on the head about love, sex, emotional damage, friendship & toxic relationships. Read it in a few hours because it’s that kind of can’t-stop-reading-it book.

I said I don't know what type of event it is,a play or an interview or book signing or what. It sounded like a performance that was based on her writing so that's the issue. I think LON isn't a good role model for girls, she's too embittered and emotionally volatile and as has been said, doesn't agree with people being treated as innocent until proven guilty. IMO she even has a bad attitude to her own parents, treats her mother like a stupid servant, and doesn't demonstrate much personal integrity and responsibility..

She's too embittered? have you looked in the mirror lately?

You said you have no idea what it is and then said you feel sorry for people who go to it. You literally don't know what you're talking about.

This is key. All the other subjects are just ammo for herself and #bleugh# squad.
You know they will just cherry pick, if and when, they decide to try to cause a sh!tstorm in retaliation.

Widdershins said he didn't know "exactly" what type of event it was. You've taken what he said and attempted to twist it to suit your own agenda in support of O'Neill.

In my opinion, her views are extreme, ill thought out, toxic and divisive. She is an awful role model for young people, especially impressionable young girls.

Be raised as a female feminist anyway.

Her friends won't like that.

I can't imagine living in a world where Louise O'Neill made it onto my radar on a daily basis. This thread is like stepping through the looking glass. She has finally, after all these years, made it on to my radar a little bit because of her play in the Abbey. But thankfully I can just not go.

I’m so thrilled to reveal the final cover for #TheSurfaceBreaks, my feminist re-telling of #TheLittleMermaid. Coming with @scholasticuk in May.

I think she's taking the piss lads.
