OK. This is breaking. Again from RTE.ie:

It was also confirmed that Brendan O’Connor would be returning to our screens on ‘The Saturday Night Show’ after a successful debut last season.

See that Doyle. You see that, Mr Craig Doyle. That’s what happens when you fuck with the big boys. Oh, you down now. Take a Polaroid of that, UPC hotard.

* Mr O’Connor’s book ‘Dick in the Old Country’, recalling Richard Nixon and his glamorous wife, Pat’s historic 1970 trip to Ireland, will be published in the autumn.

From RTE.ie five minutes ago:

“The new season was launched by the new Managing Director of Television, Glen Killane who confirmed RTÉ’s new afternoon schedule for the coming year. Two new programmes have been slated in with Maura Derrane anchoring the new ‘4 Daily’ which will be followed by ‘Daily Extra’ presented by new ‘Rose of Tralee’ host Daithi Ó Se and Claire Byrne.”

More as we get it.

Choke on that, Craig so-called Doyle.

“Now, while it’s easy to criticise politicians, we must also reflect on our own behaviour as citizens. Why is there so much public tolerance for corruption? Why don’t we ask more questions or challenge authority? Why do we accept the consensus without demanding to know the agenda of those driving it?“

Oh dear, we think we know where this is going…

“The truth is that we have low expectations, and we are lazy.“

Gah. Busted.

Yes. We know. We know. We’ll keep it brief. Sile Seoige (outside the BS offices this morning….not!) is going to cover Newstalk’s Tom Dunne mid-morning slot. It’s only our favourite mid-morning radio show (it’s a vinyl thing, kids). So none of your Enya, missy. And leave George Byrne alone.
