Where is Joe? Is he still grieving the loss of his beloved Gay or the cut to his wages?

Travelers have a very high suicide rate , Damo won’t even go near exploring why in general .... some fault with the practices in that ‘culture ‘ but no way Damo will explore that .

It definitely needs to be explored, or else just let it continue and everybody wring their hands. There should be a special show for Travellers, exploring their own theories and solutions along with psychologists and sociologists.

Another day off for Joe.

More awful public service broadcasting, switch off stuff.

Beechwoodspark

Distressing hard to listen to radio. That woman has been through the ringer over this. Bullying is awful. Please please please be alert to signs of bully’s and bullying victims.

You can't be singling the travellers out like that :eek: :eek:

ooh controversial!

At best, this is exploitative radio to get over a valid point of public interest in a crass way.

At worst, this is a deliberate choice to exploit grief to avoid discussion of the RTE financial crisis, to which the absentee presenter greatly contributes.

This poor lady, heartbreaking, she needs help. Though don’t think anything could help you over this. God love her. Can’t actually listen anymore.

I'd imagine he's not far off 15% already

Hardly a typical case of bullying though..........I think there's a lot more to it than we're hearing!

Gaybo had a show celebrating and exploring life for Travelers, their aspirations etc., somebody needs to host such a show. I’d be scared of putting it in the hands of the three top presenters. Maybe it could be co-hosted, with Brendan O’Connor asking the harder questions, John Creedon introducing music and culture, and maybe Ryan being the overall host who just opens and closes the show, with a bit of nodding now and then.

"Liveline is soooooooooooooooo important, dealing with these important issues"

joe6pack

okay but still it sounds like .....adults and others launched a campaign against a 15 year old kid and pushed it until that kid decided the only escape from that was to hang herself...thats just not right

Thankfully not too much of it happened in my school, the nuns and teachers being particularly careful to nip it in the bud.

Bullying as a child is a truly horrible and painful thing, but Damo comparing it to Tweets to politicians and radio presenters diminishes it.

"Your school days are the happiest days of your life"

My arse!

I got picked on from day one and it didnt stop until I was about 15 and was hanging around with much older kids who watched my back.

Some of the teachers in my school were the worst offenders for bullying. Nuns weren't as bad though. Some were truly lovely people and the others hated all of us in equal measure!

45 minutes in and we have had 2 callers.

:rolleyes:

The Vice Principal in my school was Valerie Cox’s husband, Brian, who appeared on Late Late Show years back and spoke about how physical punishment was barred in the school (early 70s), and a more modern form of discipline was in place where everybody was respected. For the most part this worked very well. We thought Brian was ancient when he was a young guy! Gaybo’s niece, Hilary, was a pupil in a class or two older than me.

And it WAS a cockney accent! I was influenced after watching Oliver, and had cousins who were mainly brought up in London and used local expressions.

Slow down to a degree you bully

“Talk to Joe when he’s occasionally here on..”

Damo: We're getting lots of calls about this..

3 Callers, an hour into the program.

I reckon no-one is calling in.
