For listeners and friends of @RTElyricfm, the threat to its future- as indicated on last night’s #rtept– is a profound blow to #publicservicebroadcasting. We’d really appreciate any and all support of the station on social media. #supportingthearts @josephamadigan @PresidentIRL

seems like any rumours of this kind get talked up to the point where it’s easy for the decision to axe something to be followed through with. However Lyric FM is a major part of the republic’s media and culture and needs preservation @RTElyricfm #rtept

Like the orchestras, @RTElyricfm is a soft target in these turbulent financial times however, they are far more than entertainment, they are the heart of culture in Ireland and a crucial support to music making in this country. #supportingthearts

NEW: Leo Varadkar tells @VirginMediaNews that – despite him saying in Dublin on Monday that he wouldn’t – the UK is required to operate border checks in a no-deal Brexit. A WTO Brexit means following WTO rules, he says: pic.twitter.com/cfGVrAxvrc

Joe Duffy

On the topic of RTÉ salaries not only are they extortionately high but also that the ‘stars’ like to take very long holidays every year.
Anyone who tunes into Marian Finucane at the weekend will know this, it often feels like a flip of a coin as it whether or not she’ll be in that day.
And take Joe Duffy, man of the working people. Except Joe is a bit work shy himself.
In 2018 and 2017 Boards.ie poster ButterSuki using his ”Joe Duffy Wurkday Calculator’ tracked each day that the Liveline host was missing in action.
In 2018 out of 252 ‘wurkdays’ Duffy was not there on 49 occasions, which is basically one day short of him taking 10 weeks holidays across the year. Great wurk if you can get it
Fight!
Earlier: ‘Not So Exceptional’
A short by Rune Spaans based on the brilliantly weird comic series ‘Weasel’ by Canadian artist Dave Cooper. David Cronenberg is a huge fan.
There’s abstracted boobies, wing-wangs and hoo-hahs galore. You’ll see.
What if your worst fear and your greatest love turn out to be the same thing? Lost in a dark forest, Eddy Table stumbles upon a mysterious girl and dangerous parasites. He should escape, but something keeps him from leaving.
Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) and Brent Spiner (Data) with the alien baby from 80s space lizard miniseries ‘V: The Final Battle’ on the set of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’.
Too much? All right, everybody chill.
@IrishTimes headline ‘Brexit Blamed for fall in property prices’ epitomises its outlook. Most of us heartily applaud housing becoming a smidgen cheaper but IT’s target audience is the wealthy, which attracts highest advertising fees. @broadsheet_ie @VillageMagIRE @VoicesCassandra pic.twitter.com/Em0k9TAeKV

No.
It was the boogie.
