Last night at the Citizen’s Assembly in Malahide, Dublin.

Paul Kelly writes:

RTE’s Joe Little multi tasks, balancing a laptop, delivering a live report, holding back a protester and under this pressure he manages to be polite and gentlemanly all at the same time. What a pro!

    I was watching that live, from just around the corner.
    Of course by the time I ran around to where the cameras were they were gone.

        Change the 2nd and 4th letters in your name to “n” and “k”…you’re not fooling anyone

            Mattress Mick, is that really you?
            – sorry for punching your shoulder so hard at the end of the premiere of Mattress Men in the IFI. That was me. It was dark and I thought you were further away.
            The movie was so good I went to see it again a few days later. You weren’t there. What’s the story?
            Anyway, I don’t care… Paul Kelly is the star of that film. Yeah, Paul Kelly…
            …Same name as the guy who wrote this post…

            …hang on a minute…

          Wnnker?

          Careful now! It was behaviour got you moderated before! How awful if the blogosphere were deprived of your searing insights

            You just talk poo.
            It’s tiring in the extreme.
            I’m pretty sure I know your other username.

    Antichoice stalkers with their gorno fetish banners and faked photos. How are they permitted to harass the convention?

      1. Brother Barnabas

        yes, because that’s what she said

        (in another post, she suggested a bonfire of anti-choice activists at the top of O’Connell Street)

      whatever side you’re on, the assembly should be left alone to do what they have to do.

      I don’t envy them, ordinary citizens with big choices to make.

            When boyhood’s fire was in my blood
            I read of ancient free men
            For Greece and Rome who bravely stood
            With their feet firmly planted on the necks of their womenfolk

    I’m having a bad day.
    I searched for ‘Only losers take the bus by Fatima Mansions’ and all I get in the results is alternative routes to the city centre and pop-ups offering me discount drugs.
    What’s the story?

    (Sorry if I’m annoying Anne-yone. Anne I really mean that.)

      Would go someway to explain why RTE highlighted and came back to (following technical difficulties) the issue of Iceland and a higher rate of abortion for genetic abnormalities and present it as “no downs syndrome” births.

    2. Martco

      I think you’ve already answered the question

      It’s a suspect device for sure

      …gets harder everyday not to hate this fupping kiphole

    3. bisted

      …why does RTE have a religious correspondent…there is something obsequious and deferential about it…bit like the BBC have royal correspondent…

    The real winner has been moderated while the site allows
    posts from an obviously illiterate imposter.

    Meanwhile Happy Hairy Poppet squeals like a stuck pig on poppers and pills followed by a comedown cocktail of dried pig wee

    I seem to remember him having a different accent?!

    Fair play to him.

    Also jaysus that anchor is not only anchoring the news but is also grey. I feel ancient! haha

    “What a pro!”

    Well he is a professional reporter, that’s his job.

    So is this the latest in a line of professional RTE reporters being professional shocker?

      1. Paul Kelly

        If it had been on Fox News in the USA for example, the reporter would probably have attacked protestor with microphone or been extra forceful with pushing out of way etc.
