A tap in kid

PBH in for Joe. Piece on compulsory Irish. Grainneā€™s kid has dyslexia so heā€™s giving up Irish. Tony who doesnā€™t speak the cupla focal himself thinks that itā€™s a shame and that maybe the kid should have given up English instead. Tony loves seeing a place name in Irish and working out what it means and hearing Connemara people speak the oul Gaeilge. That will be lost if the Grainnes of this world make their dyslexic children give up the Irish.

Paddy is not a gaeilgoir and is against compulsory Irish. Not speaking Irish doesnā€™t make you any less Irish. Or English says PBH. Sure if a person came to Ireland from China and only spoke Mandarin theyā€™d be as Irish as the next person says PBH.

PBH was in again. Meat was the topic. Michael Healy Rae was on defending the meat eaters and the farmers. PBH kept cutting across Michael who wasnā€™t happy. You do whatever you want itā€™s your show he said. No no no keep interrupting Philip sure itā€™s your show. Alison phones in to commend Philips professionalism in not having a meltdown when talking to Michael. Michael knows a fellow in Killarney who is 105 and he eats a bit of meat every day. Aisling called to say that it was all going to be very hard but we were going to have to change. Michael asked about the aeroplanes. Thereā€™s an app that tells you how many of them are in the sky. There are tens of thousands of them. Are they going to have to stop flying.

On the subject of MHRā€¦ Heā€™s " written a book ". Thatā€™s a fairly loose description.

Itā€™s a sort of collection of short stories / anecdotal yarns written in his usual folksy style.
Iā€™m all for folksy style but not just his. The oulā€™ yarns are neither amusing or maudlin - theyā€™re just a mixum gatherum series of scuttery yarns involving " some of the finest people to ate spuds ".

Woeful shite entirely - avoid at all cost.

Itā€™s great teamwork from the Healy-Raes. Dinny comes out with some random rural piseog and non-Kerry people laugh/cringe. Locals rage against them wans up in Dublin for mocking one of their own. Michael then comes out with what appears to be common sense in comparison to his dim brotherā€™s musings and the locals laud him for being the intilligint one.

Michael got it good and heavy on the wireless ,ref vegans/

PBH unlikely to be made a freeman of Kilgarvin.

It was a fair suck in when your man had a cut at it about nearly killing himself on the vegan diet.

The wife was listening to it in the car and thought PBH was very rude to the poor old granddad. I told her he was about 40.

PBH is an ould plamaser mostly,but by God he stuck it to Healy -rae

Possibly the most entertaining hourā€™s radio Iā€™ve listened to in a good long time. Completely daft from start to finish of course, but very entertaining.

When the Healy-Rays are involved itā€™s always entertaining

It would be hard not to be condescending towards idiots like like the Healy Raes.

Cute whures alright

True but he was v condescending

He went on national radio and declared his opinion was as valid as years of research carried out by experts. Heā€™s a fuckwit and so are the people that vote for him.
