    You have some fierce high standards of identification, Bodger. He gives his name and address in the opening seconds.

      Agreed.

      Nothing wrong with his accent but a lot wrong with the empty rhetoric he espouses. The young are all bring forced out of the country while the broad swathes of comfortable older Irisg middle classes become self-righteously angry at the idea they might be expected to contribute to society.

    Fantastic bunch of people, it’s not even a village Ballyhea, and they’ve put it on the map with their protests which have now mushroomed up across the country, judging by the “[insert location] says no” groups that have sprung up. Yes, it might be the water charges and meters being installed outside your front doors to wake you up and get you out to protest, but these Ballyhea people have been protesting for four years. Heroes, every last one of them.

    As for yer man above, he has the energy for sure, and he generally livened up the evening more than was shown on the Vincent Browne show.

        A friend of mine from Glasgow said that a lot of artists took the indepence vote as a licence to be Scottish again, I hope we do the same thing and start showing a bit of pride in our dialects. Hiberno English dahling, we don’t need to drop the dialect for legitimacy.

    It got a bit quiet when he referenced concentration camps… everyone probably thinking, “oh boy, better stop cheering him on untol we see where this is going..”

    Average age in the room about 90. Where did all the youth go…ah yes. they are in Aus laughing at this.

    “Not fit to run a concentration camp”. So he kind of compared water charges to industrialised genocide.
