    In other words the volunteers knowledge has become stale and they are not able to deal with queries. I would believe Fiona 100% on this.

    The 'volunteers' that have been on liveline this week sound like they all could talk for Ireland - talk complete nonsense that is. No problem using volunteers for basic advice but it is obvious that bad advice has been given in the past by volunteers and complaints have been received.

    The only urgent advice you would need on O'Connell Street is how to treat a stab wound.

    Could be a ploy to put people off, but CAB reception roles are vital to stream the clients to the appropriate person to deal with their query or problem.

    In large offices, it becomes more important.

    One person (a volunteer) cannot train an entire workforce of organisation volunteers.


    They all have a "tone" tbh....

    Maybe they can volunteer for big brothers/big sisters.

    I think I would feel more confident going to a CIS office know there were no volunteers.

    I'm beginning to think this was a social outlet for many of these volunteers. A place to.go keep warm and save on the price of electricity at home.

    'They all have a tone tbh'

    ^This. All day.

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Back when I was but a wee teenager someone on my basketball team got a hold of a vhs porno. This was my U-15 team and this would have been 1987/88 time. The problem was getting to watch it. We all had vhs players, but securing a free house was the issue. All 10 of us waited weeks to see it - the tension was mounting, anticipation growing. Then one of the guy's parents (let's call him Pat) were going away for the weekend leaving us with an opportunity. Pat's parents left around 5:30 and all 10 of us gathered in Pat's sitting room and we all sat down before 6 (probably 5:31 being honest) to watch it. The curtains were closed strategically in case any neighbours walked by etc. So Pat puts the video on and we're honestly about 2 minutes in when his mother opens the sitting room door, walks past the TV with two people f*cking on it saying "Sorry for disturbing ye, I forgot my purse", walks over, grabs the purse and walks out again - completely oblivious to the on screen shenanigans. In the excitement we hadn't heard the car pull back into the driveway. We all sat there in absolute shock envisioning the ass whipping we were about to get when she discovered what we were watching and would obviously tell all of our parents about it. A truly surreal moment. From memory the video was crap btw - before anyone asks. All I can remember from it was the women had the biggest bushes ever.

    This is kind of pointless...it is just the same points being made over and over again...with volunteers/former volunteers with same opinion.

    Right Joe needs to ask:

    • How many hours a week does a volunteer work
    • Are they keeping up with developments in their area of expertise as there is no way Sheilas training courses could cover everything
    • Whats the average age of a volunteer - virtually all sound in the older catergory that are years retired
    • Is the advice given by volunteers checked by a supervisor

    Some scanger could create a website where you input your current salary and it then tells you if you would be better off financially sitting on your hole and claiming the dole and allowances.

    AIB sent me an email this morning warning about de scams and dat, to be fair it's only 9 months plus since Baz started doing ads, the banks put fook off warnings on their logins telling you never to give out your details and Liveline covering it week in week out. I guess this is whoy..

    That statement from Fiona with Dobbo was probably twice as long as anyone every got to speak uninterrupted by Joe on Liveline.

    Surely Baz has got to be NK's greatest achievement? He has managed to chsel out a career for a guy with no discernible talent, no insight to offer and nothing to recommend him other than his mother seems lke a nice woman

    A person who has no involvement in the volunteering nor any requirement calls in to offer their two cents.
