Mary Hanafin was worse. Does she really think that all the construction & assembly line workers are going to upskill for R&D!? Come on, Nell was no worse. Nell certainly gave me a laugh when she said she should have put her money on a horse than into a pension fund.
I presumed she was drunk to be honest.
It throws some light on why she's still a valued social commentator.
Agreed , but the other people on the panel were out of their depth as well. Not only that, but the govt representative was speaking for the govt who actually got us in to the mess, by throwing fuel on the fire by extending the section 27 tax incentives again + again in 01, 02 , 03 etc, leaving thousands of unoccupied building in places like Leitrim etc etcShe came across as more of a pub analysist than anything else. Her casual throwaway remarks had the soundings of someone who was out of her depth on the discussion and like has been said that she had only bothered to research the headlines.
I presumed she was drunk to be honest.
does Nell Really Exist Or Is She Dunphy After The Makeup Team Have Done A Brilliant Job?
I didn't see the show so from all your comments I'm wondering did Nell Macafferty cause the current crisis? Who exactly caused the crisis, it can't have been the bankers trading in things that are impossible to understand and no one knows the value of surely. Or the governments/financial regulators who allowed them to do this and are now kindly bailing them out on our behalf. Where are the bankers now explaining how this mess happened, they're too busy in meetings arranging their next bonus and making sure their pensions are intact while some of us truly may have been better off backing a horse with our pension funds. If Nell wasn't on form maybe it's due to a recent bereavment of a previous former partner.

Some of her points were valid but anyone coudl have made them IMO.
I didnt see the show, but I dont think the fact that anyone could have made her valid comments should be a problem. Sometimes you get all experts and no-one giving the 'man in the street' view, often a few simplistic or cynical comments from one contributor (or the interviewer/chairman) can draw the best out of the experts because they have to justify their views.
Nell is ok in small doses, would thoroughly wreck your head beyond that.
What your saying is right except in her case she didn't leave anything open ended for further comment so rather than stimulate discussion she more often than not ended it.
