Tonight, Pat covers Anti-Social Behaviour, ASBOs and the Public Service day of action. Prediction: Voices will be raised during the making of this show. Also: Bonus for every 10th mention of the word ‘hoodie’.
This week, Mary Hanafin, Minister for Social Welfare comes on to explain why the government needs people with little money to have less. Also, the author of The Lolita Effect in studio. Twitter Tag: #rtefl
A game of two halfs tonight: Firstly, Jack O’Connor of SIPTU, Fintan O’Toole, Susan Kelly (Tax consultant) and Moore McDowell (Economist who didn’t spot economy might collapse). Presumably the first two set upon the latter pair, with bets taken by an Indochinese bookie in the front row. Then an Interview with Noam Chomsky (linguistics expert and part time cultural critic). Pat will have been practicing his use of the phrase ‘But the reality is…’ all week. Hashtag: #rtefl
Tonight the parents and staff of Crumlin Children’s Hospital tell us about the difficulties they have while their children receive care. Hashtag: #rtefl
Frontline enters the Twitter age, adding the #rtefl hashtag to their contact methods tonight. And the panel is pretty FF heavy as the questions centre around the Greens in Government (and possibly John O’Donoghue’s love of foreign travel).
