What’s with the crutch?
An old judo injury has flamed up apparently.
like the lad before the Irish Oral with the arm in a cast so he could spend the five minutes talking about being “ag imirt peile”…
Wallet too heavy for a human leg to support
The winners of that debate were Ni Riada and Duffy.
You weren’t watching the same debate as me. MD comfortable as ever.
He came across as Presidential which none of the others did. However he seems a little miffed that his tenure is being questioned and that there isn’t a Coronation.
The money thing though? He doesn’t want to go there.
The managing director to the left of Liadh has an awful miserable resting face, you’d think he’d make more of an effort for photographs
Probably worried sick that Kenny was going to commit another €400,000 gaffe (€130,000 damages according to the Irish Times and a “similar amount” as a contribution for Mr Gallagher’s legal costs and presumably a similar amount again for RTE’s own legal costs).
Actually, that’s probably his face in the first photo.
Duffy has his finger locked and loaded once again.
Every photo!!!!
he wants you to pull it.
Did anyone ever follow up on the source of the redundancy payment in the FS of Pieta House? Whilst redundancy amount was not particularly high, redundancy payments are subject to exemptions.
How did Liadh end up previously working for RTE ? I am assuming it was nepotism, because she had no notable experience or education as per her CV.
As for the three amigos…Gallagher is going for the action man pose ; Duffy is going for the fidget of the earnest schoolboy ; and Casey looks like he just stumbled in from the pub.
*I didn’t watch this debate.
The best part of the debate was watching the audience members try desperately hard not to fall asleep.
