RTE 1: 'Today' with Claire Byrne

Who is this eejit talking about tge potential explosive device? Asked to describe the device eg size etc he just waffles on and decided to close down a Garda station instead of the putting it back on the beach or an quiet open area so the bomb squad could deal with it.

What sort an ludremawn am I listening to, he finds a bomb on a beach, he brings it home and then puts it in a van and drives to a garda station with it the bleddy eegit

Thanks, I missed the start so I wasn't sure if there was some context missing that would have made this sound less insane than it was.

LOL what a buck eejit!, I'll have to listen back :-)

Claire is back off the holliers, already we've had a scare story about farmers taking cocaine every day just to stay awake on their tractors. This account from someone who just happens to work with drug addicts, so we may suppose he meets the odd lad doing this. But widespread???

And a wokey woman about how difficult it is for millenials to remember to pay their bills. These bills of course including RTE licences!!!!! Great excuse if you end up in court - Judge I have a condition called Errand Paralysis!

Now more endless rehashing of the Guildford story, how many times can you recycle it. Nearly worse than poor old Tom Crean.

Hairdresser radio.

Claire having a lad on this morning softening us all up fur the grand return of RT! It’s pathetic really.

Here comes today's Covid update. New variant. Is it time to be concerned?

She is a one trick pony. Covid and CANCER.

You missed her other staples - Fashion, Food & Films

excellent post Breener

And Irelands only child psychologist, Dr David Coleman, is back on as per usual.

I wonder was there any notion, at the height of the payment scandal and NKMs name becoming known to everyone, of maybe trying to have another child psychologist on the show? Was it ever pointed out by CB or Coleman himself that he too was represented by NKM?

I was reliably informed (via pm) that close to the time that Claire made her on-air statement about her earnings and fees, that RTE received a query asking why Claire has lots and lots of her NKM buddies on the show (in a similar way that the TV show did) - It does seem there was a drop off of her mates turning up on the show for a while...but it seems to be returning to business as usual

Claire: 'I'm just getting some breaking news - Someone has dropped a cigarette butt on the ground outside T2 at Dublin airport - We have Eoin Corry on the line - Morning Eoin, what's going on?'

Now interviewing an Irish woman stuck in the Burning Man festival. Her name is Daytona with a posh D4 accent. She flew over there for the festival but wants to be environmentally friendly by "being careful to leave no impact behind". Such a Burning Man millionaire stereotype.

I've heard more on RTE about that American festival than I have about our own Electric Picnic.

Has the bite herself begun to read out text messages?

I could be wrong but I don't think she used to do that. Is this part of the strategy to try to make her programme less boring and bland ?

A double hit for Eoin this week, sugar on Wednesday, electricity price reductions today
