Dunphy was doing his usual playing to the audience line. Really what financial expertise does he have. We all know at this point what went wrong and why. It doesn't need to be repeated time and time again on every show.
Of course Fintan O Toole was there to give his tuppenceworth. Where was John Waters and Terry Prone ?
Ireland is such a small country that its the same circle of know alls who appear on every show be it economic, political, sporting.
I turned it off after 5 miuntes. Liveline is bad enough. Is this what we're paying Pat close to €1million for? Where can I apply for the job?!
Perhaps I turned it off to early. I'll give it longer next Monday.
ps Surely the debates and the people, chosen to feature on the programme, are the main things that should decide your opinion?
They have to relevant though. Eamonn Dunphy and Fintan O'Tool were not relevant the other night. They just like to think of themselves as amoung the great thinkers of our time with a opinion on everything.
Is that what they think? They are two of the most detached from reality people in this country and I'm sick of them getting platforms they do not deserve. Come to think of it I'm sick of people with their bleeding heart, off the cuff, ill thought through comments. Vincent Browne is about the only one I can think of who has a narrower mind
Pat MacArdle was the only person who actually questioned why you would give credit to businesses with no long term viability. Everyone else was too busy basking in irony and hypocracy to think things through.
I agree with all of that.They have to relevant though. Eamonn Dunphy and Fintan O'Tool were not relevant the other night. They just like to think of themselves as amoung the great thinkers of our time with a opinion on everything.
I thought the way that the developers and builders there were turned into cartoon villians by Dunphy and other contributors was childish and unnecessary. If you are going to debate something, you have to be fair to both sides.
O'Toole made some valid points but didn't know enough about the details to stand up to rebuttal from Lenihan. Dunphy was talking populist excrement and shouted down the developer who was making some valid points. He'd a buffoon.I thought Dunphy and O'Toole made some really valid points and certainly added to the show. I suppose it depends what your perspective is.
Browne is utterly biased and has no credibility.Possibly with the exception of the Vincent Browne Show, I'm a big fan of his
