After the Murphy Report, it’s a Church and State special tonight. 10 of Peter’s Pence to the first sighting of an Iona Institutional. Also in studio- Andrew Maddan and reps from Countmeout.ie
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’.
Garrett Fitzgerald— Who’s to Blame? —- car scrappage scheme—All for you to get angry about, like the newspapers say you do. 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
Bang! You’ve been hard-hitted. 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).
Today sees the first episode of Pat Kenny’s show (replacing Questions and Answers)- combatively titled The Frontline. We know they’ll be monitoring the Liveblog through the show so this is your chance, potentially, to go beyond just shouting at the TV. Hashtag #rtefl
