    I've never quite got why media outlets still call on Bertie Ahern for interviews, All I'm reminded of when I hear him speak is Paddy the Plasterer?, Bertie can't even get an invite to a FF coffee morning, Just seems odd.
    I hate hearing him on, and I reckon that he still believes that the Presidency is an option for him, and the media appearances are with this end in sight.

    Having said all of that, and even though I normally switch over when he comes on, I stayed with it this morning and he was actually talking sense ...

Yes he played a part in the peace process but I believe Albert Reynolds did most of the hard work.

    Maybe it's because he was the Taoiseach who negotiated the Good Friday Agreement (and is still involved in cross border work) and, therefore, understands the politics/politicians up North better than most. Any other screw ups and shenanigans he got up to doesn't negate that. I'm sure they'd have Albert on if he was still with us.

    Always worth listening to without prejudice to any past misdemeanors or future ambitions (which incidentally I don't believe exist).

    I'd love to hear Albert's take on current events too.

    They are back for Round 2 of completely destroying the car market in Ireland. I expect the price of electricity will rocket so they can get their take of tax from electric vehicles, that or they will make charging your car with domestic electricity a fine of €9.2million.

    The motorist in this country is going screwed one way or another, shower of muppets with their ''we are going form laggard's to leaders in climate policy's'' well good for them but what's it costing the ordinary persons in this country.

    Did these Green muppets every do Geography at school, have a look at a map of world, you can just about make out this country on it.

    Don't mind that old show-biz insider bitching. Speak as you found her and trust your instinct.

    You are right, she is as sound as a pound.

    She followed her heart, sometimes for the best, more times for the worst, that's life.

    Chu is some waffler - speaks at the speed of light while saying fck all.

    PS Catherine Martin is deputy leader of a party who just went into Govt and then she challenged the leader.
    So yeah, she was scrutinised but NOT beacuse she was a woman, ya dope.
    (Her big point about women picked on by being questioned at all was the example above)
    I mean, Hazel's definitely a politician but not a groundbreaker or even a politician of any minimal use at all.

    I hate this talk that Covid has had more effect on women and those from minorities in Ireland.

    Where is the data to prove this? This crap shouldn't go unchallenged.
    Have we got stats for the 4500 that died with Covid? Would be interesting to see if it proves her point.
    I'd guess it wouldn't.

    You'd think Covid has zero effect on white Irish men.

    It's ridiculous.

    I've heard someone say the same thing, they seemed to mention because so many women work in hospitality and how women do the home schooling.

    It's complete sexism against men that people can use a pandemic that has ravaged the whole country, had a massive negative effect on nearly everyone and then people like Chu say women had it worse.
