150lbs isn't a big weight for a man, it's only around 10 stone. Maybe she meant 150kg.

If there were a memorial for every Irish person killed abroad the whole country would be a giant graveyard and I am honestly convinced this is what Joe is pushing for.

I’m not new here..

I’m still astounded at his obsession with death though

Can she read the mind of a person she hears on the radio?

150lb/68kg, that's a good weight for a man

Joe saying stats show that 14% of people in Ireland are illiterate then correcting that to say 18%.

That seems bonkers to me even taking into account out new arrivals in the last few years.

In the past literacy was considered to be the ability to read and write. Today the meaning of literacy has changed to reflect changes in society and the skills needed by individuals to participate fully in society. It involves listening, speaking, reading, writing, numeracy and using everyday technology like smartphones and google to communicate and handle information.

17.6% of adults struggle with understanding basic written text. 25% struggle with doing simple math. https://www.nala.ie/literacy-and-numeracy-in-ireland

We should know this purely from listening to Lahvlahn

I think that this is the wrong thread for this post but here goes. I suggest a quick solution , if the Dept of Justice, Gardai, whoever operates the the aDART are serious about ‘bad behaviour’ such as the behaviour of those 4 brats on the GreystoneSandymount line is as follows:-

(1) set up a specialist team having the relevant expertise

(2) concentrate on one line at a time

(3) post a hotline number at various points through each carriage - Giving direct access to the above team.

((4) If not already the case, fit CCTV in each carriage,.

(5) Each DART should have on board one or two appropriately trained members of the above team that would ‘ appropriately handle’ any outbreak of ‘ trouble’ on board

A key part of the above strategy is that none of the travelling public would know what line is being concentrated on.
Once there is an outbreak of trouble on board on a line that is being concentrated on and the above team/ trained specialist on board becomes aware of it , the Gardai should be immediately informed re aphrending the offenders at the next station

An example should be made of them by they getting the maximum sentence possible.

The behaviour of those 4 - 3 girls and a boy - teenagers apparently- towards that 72 yo man was beyond belief. And fair dues to that ‘40yo’ man with ‘ a big and threatening body’ who had enough of their carryon and ‘threw ‘ 3 of them off the DART

the sad part is that if the garda were called, it would be the man who got the little cúnts off the train would probably be the person in trouble …

a sad state of affairs. no fault on an Garda, just the situation in the country where justice seems skewed against people trying to do the right thing

I missed the show yesterday. Im just listening to the freebirthing segment now. As a women it makes me so angry that these idiots were allowed on the show. The birth process can go terribly wrong even in a healthy woman with a normal pregnancy.

Siobhan risked having her baby at home even after having placenta previa in a previous pregnancy. She is a complete idiot - her and her baby are very lucky to be alive.

Noel got de bold Joe a writeup in the 'Newspaper of Record' today:

A sense of foreboding descends on Liveline. Then Joe Duffy takes an unexpected turn

Radio: Talk of saints and babies has RTÉ broadcaster in flighty mood

It used to an ironclad law of tabloid journalism that if a child was described as a “tot” in a headline, tragedy would follow in the accompanying story. In that spirit a similar sense of foreboding descends on Monday’s Liveline (RTÉ Radio 1, weekdays) when Joe Duffy, so often Irish radio’s catastrophist-in-chief, opens a conversation with a caller by ominously asking, “What happened?” Those bracing themselves for the worst are in for a surprise, however, as the ensuing item turns out to be the exception that proves the rule.

Is Joe trying to be deliberately random?

If he's trying to make Liveline even more pointless, he's playing a blinder!
