Typical rte 🤡 hack defending the undefendable, 7 months later after overpayment to some of the highest earning politicians still no payment plan in place ... fail to produce a tv licence and your threatened with jail . Only in a banana Republic can this shite prevail.

To understand politics in this banana republic listen to Humphreys trowelling on the regional accent, there's no such thing as national politics just hillbillies gorging on the parish pump parochial trough 🐽... Utterly depressing

Only biased RTE could turn a discussion on the horrors inflicted in Ukraine into a shinner bashing exercise.. Dreadful shite again 💩

Best show on RTE either Radio or TV... What we have in Katie is akin to "Hens Teeth" a unbiased investigate RTE presenter... Please send a copy of this to Joe Duffy & Claire Byrne...

y'know. if you have a couple of shows where brexit isn't discussed, we won't be mad. Every other show is discussing it in the same way. rise of the right in Europe, wealth inequality, the continuing yellow vest protests - all valid issues. but no, let's play brexit bingo again....off the top....it's 'back-stop'
