The reaction to this has been so overwhelming. We spoke again with the bank and things are finally starting to turn good. Thank you to everyone for the kind words and support! ❤️ and again @drivetimerte for having me on.

Irish People When Asked Why They Voted For Fine Gael In The Bye-Elections

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

We made it to the Winter Solstice and as the sun rises we know the stretch is coming 🙌

[AnSealgaire @AnSealgaire]

I've listened to it - you should too - DOCTOR Eoin Lenihan (@EoinLenihan - a Dr. of teaching) handed his arse gloriously by @hlinehan 👏🏻
Eoin is an Irish immigrant to Germany since 2007 & for some reason thinks a journalist wouldn't do any research 😂
& then he loses his shit 😂

Ivan Yates coming off very poorly and arrogant here @RTERadio1

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

Not excusing Ivan Yates not disclosing his work for FF ministers and Jim Gavin, but Matt Cooper had John Lee on #pathtopower this week, who neglected to mention he’s married to a FF Senator. Make it make sense

I am HOWLING 🤣🤣🤣

Mystery solved! Turns out the “lion” spotted roaming Clare was just a Newfoundland dog with a fresh haircut!

Gardaí from Killaloe have concluded that the recent video of a “lion like” animal roaming around the woods in East Clare is in fact the very friendly dog named ‘Mouse’.

I was asked no less than 5 times to declare if I was a member of any party to simply be an audience member on @RTEUpfront this also doesn’t include the times he was on during the GE. And they wonder why trust in media is at an all time low..

RTÉ Statement on Ivan Yates:

- Yates not used as presenter or contributor during Coimisiún na Meán election period between Sep 22 - Oct 24

- Was used before and after these dates

- RTÉ relies on professional bona fides of contributors to declare conflicts of interest

This is genuinely insane. I mean, just worryingly divorced from any reality. How desperate are people to believe this nonsense?

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

Healthcare shouldn’t be about your means or lack of. It should be accessible to everyone when they need it.

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

This country infuriates me. I want to preface what I say, that this is not to disrespect anyone who has a medical card. I went to the doctor the other day and was told I’d need an MRI. He asked if I have health insurance, no because it’s too expensive. 1/

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

He said it could take years “it’s a pity you don’t have insurance or a medical card you could be seen in a week or two”. I enquired about paying privately, which costs about €300. I genuinely wanted to cry. Where is our tax money going? Like what’s the actual point?

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

If we apply this to an Irish context, FF/FG have been in power in one way shape or form since 2011. Homelessness has increased exponentially since. But it’s the immigrants fault?

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

The world is weird place. We have ruling governments and billionaires pointing at immigrants, telling us they are the cause of all social issues.

[David Farrell @davidkfarrell]

Just think about that for a second.
