You may have missed The Media Show presented by warm-throated business journalist Conor Brophy on Sunday night on RTÉ Radio One.

Irish Examiner columnist Michael Clifford and Minister for Public Expenditure Brendan Howlin (above) engaged in a civilised but revealing debate about the current media-government interface with a critical Mr Howlin wondering why the press is “obsessed” with ministers who break pay caps for advisors. Hmm.

Also…

    Howlin brings up the McNulty thing, he says he doesn’t want to triviliase it but then does so by saying it was only about somebody being put on a modern art gallery board, saying it wasn’t important enough to dominate the headline for days/weeks, and he sneers and laughs as he says it, Mick Clifford rightly pointed out it was about giving somebody faux qualifications for Seanad.

    its was abuse of Minsiterial office by Heather Humphrey in not putting public interest first , how is that not important enough? she should have resigned.

    A whole day of SF being questioned about further paedophile covers up, yet nothing on broadsheet.

    The website wouldn’t be avoiding the subject now, in a biased fashion, would it??

    Unimpressive.

      Yeah. I was thinking the very same thing. Gerry Adams squirming on radio on day and not a peep.

    What was skirted around, is the total disconnect by a large section of
    the populace who don’t believe the media and have no trust in them.
    Why are people outside Montrose and will soon be elsewhere, the
    media’s agenda is not the polulace’s any more. the biggest story and
    still there is the people’s uprising about water taxes, as to red herring
    thrown in by Howlin about NcNulty, it was a diversion to avoid whats
    staring him in the face.
    As to the issue of sex abuse in the IRA, it no different to any other sections
    of society in Ireland, it was concealed, not reported and when it was,
    a lot of shutters came down and are still closed tightly.
    Has the Government examined all their records and told us what they hid
    to protect those in high office…..the’d want join Adams and start looking
    too…..what would turn up might embarass more than SF.

      That excuse that everyone was hiding abuses has been rubbished on many an occasion. We’re talking 1998, not 88 or 78 or earlier. There were reports of abuse breaking that year, reports everyone knew were coming for years before.

        Really. ..what about the previous occupant of the Office of
        all Ireland Sea of Armagh….its a case of a little known with a
        lot more to find out.
