--> 00:21:02,870 power, the horsepower to really 648 00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:04,160 dominate it. 649 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,000 Remains to be seen. 650 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,320 But I really like that sound. 651 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,280 Let's get a blast at News Talk. 652 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,040 Go and see what that's saying. 653 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,650 It's been confirmed by the Guinness 654 00:21:21,650 --> 00:21:24,050 World Records that this is the 655 00:21:24,050 --> 00:21:26,270 largest knitted diorama ever 656 00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:27,040 created. 657 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,370 It's drawn recognition from 658 00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:29,280 home and abroad. 659 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,650 The Punisher Simon Harris was 660 00:21:30,650 --> 00:21:31,360 down there. 661 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,990 And there was also delegations 662 00:21:32,990 --> 00:21:34,800 from Japan and Canada to see it. 663 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,200 Okay. 664 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,740 So a diorama is like a map with 665 00:21:36,740 --> 00:21:38,640 kind of depth and texture to it. 666 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,680 Yeah, exactly. 667 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,880 It's a bit more 3D than just 668 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,760 your average map. 669 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,660 And it seems to be made out of 670 00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:43,120 the world. 671 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:44,640 So measuring it's 16 square 672 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,200 meters. 673 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,110 And it's got landmarks, 674 00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:48,620 mountains and coastlines from 675 00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:49,680 every province. 676 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,040 All made out of wool. 677 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,560 And it was made entirely by the 678 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,480 Carnie Creative Crafters Group. 679 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,370 So this is in the Wicklow 680 00:21:56,370 --> 00:21:57,280 people. 681 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,470 Liz Butler from the group said 682 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:59,610 that when they began the work 683 00:21:59,610 --> 00:22:00,690 in the mouth, they had no 684 00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,600 intention of chasing. 685 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,400 We'll knock that off. 686 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,960 It doesn't sound. 687 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,840 It's not good. 688 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,200 It needs to be hard shoulder. 689 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,480 It needs to be current affairs. 690 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,900 It needs to be updates about 691 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:10,960 what's going on. 692 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,890 And then Ciaran Cuddy isn't 693 00:22:12,890 --> 00:22:14,560 even there anymore. 694 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,400 So when it does come time for 695 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,660 drive time or the hard shoulder, 696 00:22:18,660 --> 00:22:20,960 it's just lacking, you know. 697 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,330 And in fairness to Cuddy, he 698 00:22:24,330 --> 00:22:27,960 took the plum job at Liveline, 699 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,760 but it's just, I don't know. 700 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,610 I preferred when he was doing 701 00:22:33,610 --> 00:22:35,540 the news roundup drive time at 702 00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:37,070 the end of the day, to be 703 00:22:37,070 --> 00:22:38,400 honest with you. 704 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,700 I mean, that Liveline thing, 705 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:43,860 that's a Joe Duffy thing who's 706 00:22:43,860 --> 00:22:44,560 gone. 707 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,780 So, I mean, I don't know why 708 00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:48,480 they kept it going. 709 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,920 Or if they did, what they got 710 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,510 with Cuddy, it's like they've 711 00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:52,990 got him, they're playing him 712 00:22:52,990 --> 00:22:54,640 out of position, you know. 713 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,360 He should be on at five o'clock. 714 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,550 Not during the daytime with 715 00:22:59,550 --> 00:23:00,400 that stuff. 716 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,200 He's good at it. 717 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,360 Don't get me wrong, but I mean, 718 00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:03,360 he's better than that. 719 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,920 And I for one miss Cuddy. 720 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:10,400 On the hard shoulder. 721 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,470 And I don't know who they've 722 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:13,920 got going on now. 723 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,200 I haven't listened to it. 724 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,090 I've got to put the, uh, your 725 00:23:20,090 --> 00:23:24,900 messages on the screen here in 726 00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:29,060 front of me so I can see them 727 00:23:29,060 --> 00:23:32,400 when I'm racing. 728 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:46,320 Backhurst. 729 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,390 Backhurst comes, when Backhurst 730 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:50,640 comes knocking, he gets his man. 731 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,600 That's the thing. 732 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,320 It's always been the way. 733 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,400 Don't underestimate the Backhurst. 734 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:01,640 Back-to-back wins is what we're 735 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,120 after here. 736 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,940 And some really nice machines 737 00:24:06,940 --> 00:24:08,840 in the warm-up laps buzzing 738 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,720 around the track there. 739 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:13,640 I'm even thinking some of them 740 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,800 might look a little bit classier 741 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,160 than mine. 742 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:18,880 Just a little bit. 743 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,100 None of them seem to be embossed 744 00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:23,600 with multiple sponsors though, 745 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,040 which just goes to show that 746 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,860 they don't really have the pull 747 00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:28,880 that we have here on Drive Time. 748 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,920 That little thing's going down, 749 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,240 whatever that is. 750 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,280 Daihatsu, is it? 751 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:33,920 And there we go. 752 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,480 Look at me. 753 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:36,960 Absolutely creaming the 754 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,560 competition on that slipstream. 755 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,120 Petroheads Racing. 756 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,680 Important sponsors of the event. 757 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,040 Michelin. 758 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,720 Rob Rex Bakery. 759 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,920 And all of the above. 760 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,620 It's a great, great day to be 761 00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:54,880 racing for gold here. 762 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,480 Before an Ivan Yates breakdown. 763 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,520 Steakhouse Apple. 764 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:03,600 Apple. 765 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,680 And Nicola Pizza. 766 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,440 Who do delivery. 767 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,360 They don't even use Deliveroo. 768 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:10,800 They use their own drivers. 769 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,450 So definitely use them if you 770 00:25:13,450 --> 00:25:14,160 can. 771 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,280 I'm not sure there are any 772 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,700 branches or outlets in Ireland 773 00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:17,520 at the moment. 774 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,560 But they're expanding. 775 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,560 In a big, big way. 776 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,640 They're one to watch for the 777 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,560 next 10 years. 778 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Nicola Pizza. 779 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,230 They do a great, great pizza 780 00:25:29,230 --> 00:25:30,720 oven. 781 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,120 It's ceramic. 782 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,120 It's fantastic. 783 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,330 And it's right out in front of 784 00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:37,540 you as well when you're in the 785 00:25:37,540 --> 00:25:38,320 restaurant. 786 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,470 You can see your pizza being 787 00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:39,840 made. 788 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,280 An unbelievable base. 789 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,680 Which is where every pizza 790 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,280 begins. 791 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,880 And then the toppings are 792 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,600 insane. 793 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,560 real gourmand stuff. 794 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,640 Real gourmand stuff. 795 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:56,000 Michelin. 796 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:56,880 The food reviewer. 797 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:57,980 What have they to do with 798 00:25:57,980 --> 00:25:58,480 racing? 799 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,400 Well, they did do the Michelin... 800 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,040 Guide. 801 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,090 I think because they were to do 802 00:26:06,090 --> 00:26:07,280 with racing first. 803 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,420 They understood that there were 804 00:26:09,420 --> 00:26:11,760 people who enjoyed food so much. 805 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,070 So much so that they were going 806 00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:16,300 to make a book which detailed 807 00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:18,560 some of the finest eateries 808 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,520 around the continent. 809 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,010 And it just grew from there, 810 00:26:21,010 --> 00:26:21,680 you know. 811 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,540 It's a bit confusing to the 812 00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:25,820 uninitiated to see the Michelin 813 00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:26,160 man. 814 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Dishing out awards for food, 815 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:28,880 but. 816 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,200 He didn't get that big just by 817 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,960 watching racing. 818 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,400 The Michelin man. 819 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,710 I used to confuse him with the 820 00:26:35,710 --> 00:26:37,360 marshmallow man from Ghostbusters 821 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:38,560 when I was a kid, but. 822 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,320 They're they're two separate 823 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,760 entities, you know. 824 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,000 Thank you very much there. 825 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,670 Yeats contemplates the new path 826 00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:46,880 to power theme tune. 827 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,500 Post Yeatser is an up-tempo 828 00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:50,400 contemporary jazz number. 829 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,120 Very much like the GT menu 830 00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:52,800 music. 831 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,170 Are

--> 00:28:41,680 Prices might go up as well. 893 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,790 But I mean, I was always paying 894 00:28:43,790 --> 00:28:45,660 more for my Turkey anyway, 895 00:28:45,660 -->

939 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,240 tried the Forza Horizon back in 940 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,440 the day. 941 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,510 And it was, it did look 942 00:30:08,510 --> 00:30:09,280 fantastic. 943 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,500 Buzzing around Edinburgh and 944 00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:11,280 the outskirts. 945 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,080 They'd replicated Scotland. 946 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,120 Aubergue as Dodgy. 947 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,560 Aubergue de Jeunesse. 948 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,520 Aubergue. 949 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,560 That's green as

00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,210 It'd be nothing better than 954 00:30:39,210 --> 00:30:40,820 being able to buzz around the 955 00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:41,840 entire aisle. 956 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,840 Some of the roads. 957 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,590 Some of the driving in this 958 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:47,330 country can be absolutely 959 00:30:47,330 --> 00:30:48,480 outstanding. 960 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,420 Especially out west on the Wild 961 00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:51,520 Atlantic Way. 962 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,610 Which I believe Top Gear said 963 00:30:53,610 --> 00:30:54,720 was one of the best roads to 964 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,200 drive. 965 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,820 I think the stretch between Clifton 966 00:30:57,820 --> 00:30:59,120 and Westport. 967 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,760 Also taken in Clue Bay. 968 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,320 And driving past them. 969 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,520 The monolithic Croke Patrick. 970 00:31:14,240 -->

--> 00:31:25,040 It has its time. 975 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,040 It has its place in the Pantheon. 976 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,090 But there's nothing like a 977 00:31:29,090 --> 00:31:30,160 fantastic track. 978 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,210 To really master and dominate, 979 00:31:33,210 --> 00:31:34,400 you know. 980 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,600 And let's not forget. 981 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,390 The domination still needs to 982 00:31:37,390 --> 00:31:38,640 occur in Germany. 983 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,960 The Nürburgring time trials. 984 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,720 A full restart? 985 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,440 I think so. 986 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,290 Get off your phone while 987 00:31:45,290 --> 00:31:46,240 driving. 988 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,230 Technically it is being on your 989 00:31:48,230 --> 00:31:48,880 phone. 990 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,940 Reading the messages as well 991 00:31:49,940 --> 00:31:51,040 which are coming through. 992

999 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,610 I just haven't done this 1000 00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:11,280 particular one. 1001 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,520 Usually there's like seven 1002 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,940 different variations on every 1003 00:32:13,940 --> 00:32:14,640 track here. 1004 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,360 I could be wrong though. 1005 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:22,240 I might have done it in a 1006 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,720 different yoke. 1007 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,970 I think I might have driven it 1008 00:32:27,970 --> 00:32:31,840 in a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3. 1009 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,800 But not in my own beast here 1010 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,880 which is making me 1011 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:38,800 a little bit rusty on the 1012 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,880 corners and the turns. 1013 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,750 It's the anticipation necessary 1014 00:32:43,750 --> 00:32:45,900 in order to not fly off the 1015 00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:46,880 handle. 1016 00:32:46,880 --> 00:33:08,360 Lovely stuff. Not great, could 1017 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,520 do better. 1018 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,120 I try to replicate my Honda in 1019 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,720 real life in this game, but I 1020 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,390 need the engine swaps for it to 1021 00:33:16,390 --> 00:33:17,980 compete against the big boys. 1022 00:33:17,980 --> 00:33:22,320 What are you driving, Narubu? 1023 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:27,240 Accord?

It's a 1029 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,450 true beauty. Japanese 1030 00:34:00,450 --> 00:34:02,880 reliability at its finest. 1031 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:10,880 That's lovely. 1032 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,180 And I wonder there, somebody 1033 00:34:19,180 --> 00:34:21,000 was telling me about the Jazz 1034 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,590 intro to the Path to Power 1035 00:34:22,590 --> 00:34:24,410 podcast, which has changed 1036 00:34:24,410 --> 00:34:26,360 because once Yeats has left the 1037 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,490 scene, the building, they need 1038 00:34:28,490 --> 00:34:30,480 to rebrand it, I suppose. 1039 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,770 And I wonder what that sounds 1040 00:34:34,770 --> 00:34:38,430 like. And did Cooper address 1041 00:34:38,430 --> 00:34:42,380 everything? Did he address the 1042 00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:45,760 scenario on the program? 1043 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,040 That'd be interesting to hear 1044 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,000 what his take on it was. 1045 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,160 Personally, I think that he 1046 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,010 knew well what was going on 1047 00:34:54,010 --> 00:34:57,840 with the Yatzer.

1698 00:55:56,300 --> 00:55:57,860 under race again. 1699 00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:58,520 Under way. 1700 00:55:58,780 --> 00:56:00,200 And the Air Force are 1701 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,260 absolutely down to last on 1702 00:56:02,260 --> 00:56:03,760 powdered flag. 1703 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,190 As they complain yet again to 1704 00:56:06,190 --> 00:56:08,500 the pit munchers back in the 1705 00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:09,300 paddock. 1706 00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:11,660 About how this race has taken 1707 00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:14,340 out too many of their boosters. 1708 00:56:14,340

1712 00:56:22,260 --> 00:56:23,980 But the powder keg is dry at 1713 00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:25,680 the moment. 1714 00:56:26,140 --> 00:56:27,610 So they're hoping to get some 1715 00:56:27,610 --> 00:56:28,640 shipped in. 1716 00:56:28,980 --> 00:56:29,840 Very quickly. 1717 00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:33,490 But the pigments of red, white 1718 00:56:33,490 --> 00:56:35,080 and green. 1719 00:56:35,180 --> 00:56:36,620 Unfortunately are running low. 1720 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,300 So the Italian flag might have 1721 00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:39,500 to be readjusted. 1722 00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:41,930 We could actually be seeing a 1723 00:56:41,930 --> 00:56:44,200 brand new Italian flag. 1724 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,300 Before the end of the day. 1725 00:56:47,400 -->

appealing. 1729 00:56:54,740 --> 00:56:56,350 And might actually be seen as 1730 00:56:56,350 --> 00:56:58,300 an affront to the Italian 1731 00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:00,160 mindset and people. 1732

they're my views... 4389 02:08:16,840 --> 02:08:18,040 ...just one last question... 4390 02:08:18,040 --> 02:08:19,100 ...you said as well... 4391 02:08:19,100 --> 02:08:20,320 ...that in your view... 4392 02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:21,380 ...and the finger pointing... 4393 02:08:21,380 --> 02:08:22,060 ...that there's no other 4394 02:08:22,060 --> 02:08:22,580 profession... 4395 02:08:22,580 --> 02:08:23,240 ...I mean it's... 4396 02:08:23,240 --> 02:08:24,400 ...it's the finger pointing as 4397 02:08:24,400 --> 02:08:24,920 well... 4398 02:08:24,920 --> 02:08:26,420 ...it's a bit much... 4399 02:08:26,420 --> 02:08:26,760 ...do you know... 4400 02:08:26,760 --> 02:08:27,720 ...the body language... 4401 02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:29,000 ...more conflicts of interest... 4402 02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:30,680 ...the body language there... 4403 02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:31,100 ...it's... 4404 02:08:31,100 --> 02:08:32,700 ...it's hard to come up against 4405 02:08:32,700 --> 02:08:33,380 that... 4406 02:08:33,380 --> 02:08:33,840 ...do you know... 4407 02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:35,340 ...it's... 4408 02:08:35,340 --> 02:08:36,840 ...it's too much... 4409 02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:38,840 ...who did they think they were... 4410 02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:39,680 ...I mean... 4411 02:08:39,680 --> 02:08:41,940 ...Ivan had voluntarily... 4412 02:08:41,940 --> 02:08:44,020 ...accepted this invitation... 4413 02:08:44,020 --> 02:08:45,420 ...when many other people didn't... 4414 02:08:45,420 --> 02:08:47,990 ...it seems to be a show trial 4415 02:08:47,990 --> 02:08:49,420 of sorts... 4416 02:08:49,420 --> 02:08:50,420 ...without any... 4417 02:08:50,420 --> 02:08:52,260 ...tangible outcome... 4418 02:08:52,260 --> 02:08:53,420 ...or consequence... 4419 02:08:53,420 --> 02:08:55,790 than in media. In terms of 4420 02:08:55,790 --> 02:08:57,380 corporate freebies, that's 4421 02:08:57,380 --> 02:08:59,340 essentially what we're talking 4422 02:08:59,340 --> 02:08:59,960 about today. 4423 02:08:59,960 --> 02:09:05,400 Can you expand on that? I was 4424 02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:08,480 making the point that I felt 4425 02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:11,120 there was double standards. One 4426 02:09:11,120 --> 02:09:11,440 standard 4427 02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:13,710 being applied to me, another. 4428 02:09:13,710 --> 02:09:15,650 The truth of it is, the media 4429 02:09:15,650 --> 02:09:17,520 is very poorly paid. And I 4430 02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:18,420 heard Deputy 4431 02:09:18,420 --> 02:09:19,690 Gibney referring to this 4432 02:09:19,690 --> 02:09:21,380 earlier today. And the truth of 4433 02:09:21,380 --> 02:09:22,920 it is, some people have more 4434 02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:23,880 income from other 4435 02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:25,350 sources outside of their media 4436 02:09:25,350 --> 02:09:26,700 income. And in terms of the 4437 02:09:26,700 --> 02:09:28,310 press, it's never revealed. In 4438 02:09:28,310 --> 02:09:28,940 terms of a 4439 02:09:28,940 --> 02:09:31,180 columnist, it's never revealed. 4440 02:09:31,180 --> 02:09:33,590 And that is the poverty of the... 4441 02:09:33,590 --> 02:09:36,100 RT got 725 million. Most media 4442 02:09:36,100 --> 02:09:38,360 organisations are near broke. 4443 02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:40,530 That's the truth. Lovely dig. 4444 02:09:40,530 --> 02:09:43,020 Then the smile. And the stance. 4445 02:09:43,020 --> 02:09:45,580 Or sit-ans. Because he's 4446 02:09:45,580 --> 02:09:48,940 sitting. Sitting stance. And I 4447 02:09:48,940 --> 02:09:51,850 suppose in many ways, this is a 4448 02:09:51,850 --> 02:09:53,480 fence down the centre of 4449 02:09:53,480 --> 02:09:55,040 politics and journalism. Well 4450 02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:56,620 then, you've jumped one way, 4451 02:09:56,620 --> 02:09:57,990 and I have jumped the other. 4452 02:09:57,990 --> 02:09:59,900 More on that in a moment. Jumping 4453 02:09:59,900 --> 02:10:01,950 straight in though, do you have 4454 02:10:01,950 --> 02:10:03,820 any regrets in not informing 4455 02:10:03,820 --> 02:10:05,980 your co-host, Matt Cooper, at 4456 02:10:05,980 --> 02:10:07,420 the time that you had a dual 4457 02:10:07,420 --> 02:10:07,900 role, 4458 02:10:07,900 --> 02:10:10,680 Touchy one. Touchy one. Cooper 4459 02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:13,010 mentioned. Cooper has been 4460 02:10:13,010 --> 02:10:16,530 mentioned. An impartial commentator. 4461 02:10:16,530 --> 02:10:19,670 So, I reflected on that. And on 4462 02:10:19,670 --> 02:10:22,360 the particular morning... 4463 02:10:22,360 --> 02:10:23,940 Someone needs to sort 4464 02:10:23,940 --> 02:10:25,120 themselves out, 4465 02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:26,280 coffin in the background there. 4466 02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:28,660 It's lowering the tone of the 4467 02:10:28,660 --> 02:10:29,240 piece. 4468 02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:31,140 Thank you very much there, Liam 4469 02:10:31,140 --> 02:10:31,640 Rogers, 4470 02:10:31,640 --> 02:10:33,900 who says, it's a well-paid job, 4471 02:10:33,900 --> 02:10:34,720 chairman. 4472 02:10:34,960 -->

at the 4476 02:10:42,420 --> 02:10:42,980 desk 4477 02:10:42,980 --> 02:10:45,680 with the arms out like that. 4478 02:10:46,180 --> 02:10:47,100 Nothing to lose. 4479 02:10:47,620 --> 02:10:49,080 He won the first bout there. 4480 02:10:49,420 --> 02:10:50,960 Another contender has just been 4481 02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:52,160 thrown into the ring here. 4482 02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:53,780 How will he deal with it? 4483 02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:54,770 I think he'll deal with it 4484 02:10:54,770 --> 02:10:55,620 quite competently 4485 02:10:55,620 --> 02:10:57,360 and very, very well indeed. 4486 02:10:57,660 --> 02:10:59,160 On a Saturday morning, I said 4487 02:10:59,160 --> 02:10:59,780 to Matt, 4488 02:10:59,780 --> 02:11:01,920 I deliberately didn't tell you 4489 02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:04,070 because I didn't want you to be 4490 02:11:04,070 --> 02:11:05,720 in any way conflicted. 4491 02:11:05,800 --> 02:11:07,080 In other words, he could say, 4492 02:11:07,500 --> 02:11:09,160 oh, I never knew any of this, 4493 02:11:09,260 --> 02:11:10,700 and it was a statement of fact. 4494 02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:12,790 If I had said, confidentially, 4495 02:11:12,790 --> 02:11:13,280 Matt, 4496 02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:14,740 this is something I do, 4497 02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:16,370 it would have put him in a very 4498 02:11:16,370 --> 02:11:17,600 invidious position. 4499 02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:19,760 So I didn't put NKM or him in 4500 02:11:19,760 --> 02:11:21,260 that situation, 4501 02:11:21,460 --> 02:11:22,720 and I felt that was fair to 4502 02:11:22,720 --> 02:11:23,200 them. 4503 02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:24,020 I took him- 4504 02:11:24,020 --> 02:11:25,280 M-M-K-M? 4505 02:11:30,140 --> 02:11:31,440 Question mark? 4506 02:11:33,140 --> 02:11:35,240 Who

02:11:59,760 --> 02:12:00,970 Is Cooper part of the Kelly 4519 02:12:00,970 --> 02:12:01,500 stable? 4520 02:12:02,700 --> 02:12:04,760 It's quite a formidable stable. 4521 02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:08,340 I can't believe we're yet again 4522 02:12:08,340 --> 02:12:10,470 at another Oireachtas committee 4523 02:12:10,470 --> 02:12:11,060 meeting, 4524 02:12:11,740 --> 02:12:13,660 and at the heart of it all, 4525 02:12:13,740 --> 02:12:15,180 behind the scenes, 4526 02:12:15,620 --> 02:12:17,480 Noel Kelly is involved again. 4527 02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:20,800 It's quite the remarkable 4528 02:12:20,800 --> 02:12:23,160 foothold, stronghold, 4529 02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:25,320 on a considerable section of 4530 02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:26,340 the media. 4531 02:12:28,380 --> 02:12:31,500 But Yates is his own situation. 4532 02:12:31,660 --> 02:12:33,800 I don't think he's a part of 4533 02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:34,400 that. 4534 02:12:34,460 --> 02:12:34,940 I'm not sure. 4535 02:12:35,100 --> 02:12:36,140 I never thought he was. 4536 02:12:37,700 --> 02:12:38,700 He's U-Tree. 4537 02:12:42,120 --> 02:12:47,300 No, Kelly is both their agent, 4538 02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:48,200 Cooper and Yates. 4539 02:12:49,500 --> 02:12:50,460 Unbelievable stuff. 4540 02:12:50,920 --> 02:12:52,060 Should have said on the morning 4541 02:12:52,060 --> 02:12:53,020 that this broke. 4542 02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:53,690 This should have been something 4543 02:12:53,690 --> 02:12:53,980 that wasn't- 4544 02:12:53,980 --> 02:12:55,080 I just did think Yates 4545 02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:56,400 would have an agent for that. 4546 02:12:56,460 --> 02:12:57,280 I thought he would just be 4547 02:12:57,280 --> 02:12:58,300 his own agent, you know? 4548 02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:00,880 Obviously, I know all this. 4549 02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:03,220 Quite open in plain view 4550 02:13:03,220 --> 02:13:04,400 and possibly in plain view. 4551 02:13:04,440 --> 02:13:04,440 I'm just- 4552 02:13:04,440 --> 02:13:05,820 I'm pretending I'm ignorant 4553 02:13:05,820 --> 02:13:07,100 just to, uh, 4554 02:13:08,380 --> 02:13:08,660 you know, 4555 02:13:08,860 --> 02:13:10,340 spark the debate in the chat. 4556 02:13:11,140 --> 02:13:11,680 But, uh, 4557 02:13:11,700 --> 02:13:13,020 but actually it is news to me 4558 02:13:13,020 --> 02:13:14,420 that he was involved in there. 4559 02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:15,330 Because when you'd see the 4560 02:13:15,330 --> 02:13:15,800 pictures, 4561 02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:16,360 you know, 4562 02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:17,700 of the

people 4570 02:13:28,880 --> 02:13:30,260 that you worked with or for. 4571 02:13:30,320 --> 02:13:30,540 You see, 4572 02:13:31,120 --> 02:13:32,640 that sort of presupposes 4573 02:13:32,640 --> 02:13:34,040 that the coaching work 4574 02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:34,640 would influence 4575 02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:35,680 what I'd say on the podcast. 4576 02:13:36,020 --> 02:13:36,660 And I say, 4577 02:13:37,120 --> 02:13:38,580 I have been so critical 4578 02:13:38,580 --> 02:13:40,600 of Fianna Fáil in 2024. 4579 02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:41,940 And again, this year, 4580 02:13:42,260 --> 02:13:43,310 I criticise their migration 4581 02:13:43,310 --> 02:13:43,980 policies. 4582 02:13:44,140 --> 02:13:45,110 I criticise their spending 4583 02:13:45,110 --> 02:13:45,680 policies. 4584 02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:47,220 I criticise so many of their 4585 02:13:47,220 --> 02:13:47,620 policies, 4586 02:13:47,740 --> 02:13:48,440 their indecision 4587 02:13:48,440 --> 02:13:49,460 on planning reform. 4588 02:13:49,780 --> 02:13:51,120 So I actually believe, 4589 02:13:51,320 --> 02:13:52,300 and this is the truth of it, 4590 02:13:52,480 --> 02:13:53,460 it may be a case, 4591 02:13:53,560 --> 02:13:54,460 one hair head 4592 02:13:54,460 --> 02:13:55,480 wears many hats, 4593 02:13:55,880 --> 02:13:56,660 but I actually think 4594 02:13:56,660 --> 02:13:58,360 I have the personal integrity 4595 02:13:58,360 --> 02:13:59,240 to be able to say, 4596 02:13:59,380 --> 02:13:59,960 okay, today, 4597 02:14:00,060 --> 02:14:00,980 I'm doing this job, 4598 02:14:01,260 -->

you yesterday, 4602 02:14:04,900 --> 02:14:05,700 I would feel free 4603 02:14:05,700 --> 02:14:06,740 to criticise you tomorrow. 4604 02:14:07,120 --> 02:14:07,260 Yeah. 4605 02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:08,420 That's sound. 4606 02:14:08,420 --> 02:14:09,860 perception may be 4607 02:14:09,860 --> 02:14:11,340 that you cannot manage 4608 02:14:11,340 --> 02:14:12,200 those dual roles. 4609 02:14:12,440 --> 02:14:13,100 So do you think 4610 02:14:13,100 --> 02:14:13,820 you can ever get 4611 02:14:13,820 --> 02:14:14,940 the public perception 4612 02:14:14,940 --> 02:14:15,820 and the public trust 4613 02:14:15,820 --> 02:14:17,320 back again after this? 4614 02:14:17,420 --> 02:14:18,420 Well, it's quite funny 4615 02:14:18,420 --> 02:14:19,680 because, you know, 4616 02:14:19,740

--> 02:14:30,300 and the Greyhounds. 4624 02:14:30,840 --> 02:14:32,080 And I met thousands of people. 4625 02:14:32,580 --> 02:14:33,260 And genuinely, 4626 02:14:33,480 --> 02:14:34,180 I meet people. 4627 02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:35,340 And people text me 4628 02:14:35,340 --> 02:14:35,880 and people tell me that. 4629 02:14:36,260 --> 02:14:37,640 They think this is 4630 02:14:37,640 --> 02:14:38,990 an absolute media political 4631 02:14:38,990 --> 02:14:39,380 bubble. 4632 02:14:39,700 --> 02:14:39,740 It is. 4633 02:14:39,740 --> 02:14:41,280 They absolutely understand 4634 02:14:41,280 --> 02:14:42,580 all the interests 4635 02:14:42,580 --> 02:14:43,640 that I've tried to manage 4636 02:14:43,640 --> 02:14:45,400 and they actually understand it. 4637 02:14:45,400 --> 02:14:47,380 And the hysteria, 4638 02:14:47,620 --> 02:14:48,360 as I would call it, 4639 02:14:48,460 --> 02:14:48,720 It's ridiculous. 4640 02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:49,840 My glamour-gasted nature

desire to run for 4974 02:21:20,060 --> 02:21:21,400 election... 4975 02:21:21,400 --> 02:21:21,680 no... 4976 02:21:21,680 --> 02:21:22,440 gore maha gud... 4977 02:21:22,440 --> 02:21:24,380 Senator

02:21:27,060 as you say... 4982 02:21:27,060 --> 02:21:28,060 and as everybody else has said... 4983 02:21:28,060 --> 02:21:28,940 you didn't have to... 4984 02:21:28,940 --> 02:21:29,400 and you're here... 4985 02:21:29,400 --> 02:21:30,100 so that's great... 4986 02:21:30,100 --> 02:21:31,260 I actually happen to think... 4987 02:21:31,260 --> 02:21:32,660 that the crux of... 4988 02:21:32,660 --> 02:21:33,420 everything that we're 4989 02:21:33,420 --> 02:21:34,380 discussing here... 4990 02:21:34,380 --> 02:21:36,380 was... 4991 02:21:36,380 --> 02:21:37,900 was essentially dealt with... 4992 02:21:37,900 --> 02:21:38,380 or exposed... 4993 02:21:39,140 --> 02:21:39,460 if you want... 4994 02:21:39,460 --> 02:21:40,320 in the earlier session... 4995 02:21:40,320 --> 02:21:41,380 a session that had less... 4996 02:21:41,940 --> 02:21:42,980 that had less... 4997 02:21:42,980 --> 02:21:44,200 interest possibly... 4998 02:21:44,200 --> 02:21:45,300 less public interest... 4999 02:21:45,300 --> 02:21:46,700 less member attendance as well... 5000 02:21:46,700 --> 02:21:47,660 but I think... 5001 02:21:47,660 --> 02:21:48,840 that the regulatory gap... 5002 02:21:48,840 --> 02:21:50,840 he lived to 120... 5003 02:21:50,840 --> 02:21:52,120 there it says... 5004 02:21:52,120 --> 02:21:54,360 Mr. Man... 5005 02:21:54,360 --> 02:21:55,700 I think he just... 5006 02:21:55,700 --> 02:21:57,840 it really does feel like... 5007 02:21:57,840 --> 02:21:59,060 you know... 5008 02:21:59,060 --> 02:22:00,700 just from watching him... 5009 02:22:00,700 --> 02:22:02,000 competently battle... 5010 02:22:02,000 --> 02:22:03,000 a way like this... 5011 02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:03,700 that... 5012 02:22:03,700 --> 02:22:05,300 he's at least 10 years... 5013 02:22:05,300 --> 02:22:07,000 less than what he is... 5014 02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:07,700 do you know... 5015 02:22:09,820 --> 02:22:11,700 hopefully he does live to 120... 5016 02:22:12,320 --> 02:22:13,020 it gives us... 5017 02:22:13,020 --> 02:22:14,700 a lot more time... 5018 02:22:14,700 --> 02:22:15,700 to consider... 5019 02:22:15,700 --> 02:22:16,320 to consider... 5020 02:22:16,320 --> 02:22:17,700 some brand new moves... 5021 02:22:17,700 --> 02:22:18,820 I was 20 years... 5022 02:22:18,820 --> 02:22:19,540 a broadcaster... 5023 02:22:19,540 --> 02:22:21,000 I was often called a pundit... 5024 02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:22,120 and the difference... 5025 02:22:22,120 --> 02:22:22,800 the key difference... 5026 02:22:22,800 --> 02:22:23,380 between a pundit... 5027 02:22:23,380 --> 02:22:24,640 and a presenter... 5028 02:22:24,640 --> 02:22:26,120 is that I did not... 5029 02:22:26,120 --> 02:22:26,960 give an opinion... 5030 02:22:26,960 --> 02:22:27,600 it was my job... 5031 02:22:27,600 --> 02:22:28,540 to not have an opinion... 5032 02:22:28,540 --> 02:22:29,200 and not give one... 5033 02:22:29,200 --> 02:22:29,840 so... 5034 02:22:29,840 --> 02:22:30,680 sometimes... 5035 02:22:30,680 --> 02:22:31,360 the general public... 5036 02:22:31,360 --> 02:22:32,420 don't know the difference... 5037 02:22:32,420 --> 02:22:33,300 or don't understand... 5038 02:22:33,300 --> 02:22:33,960 fully the difference... 5039 02:22:33,960 --> 02:22:35,060 between a full-time broadcaster... 5040 02:22:35,060 --> 02:22:36,300 too much... 5041 02:22:36,300 --> 02:22:36,700 she's... 5042 02:22:36,700 --> 02:22:38,220 she needs actually... 5043 02:22:38,220 --> 02:22:39,660 she actually could do... 5044 02:22:39,660 --> 02:22:40,300 with training... 5045 02:22:40,300 --> 02:22:41,300 actually all the panel... 5046 02:22:41,300 --> 02:22:42,120 could do with training... 5047 02:22:42,120 --> 02:22:43,100 from Ivan... 5048 02:22:43,100 --> 02:22:44,220 on how to... 5049 02:22:44,220 --> 02:22:44,700 podcast... 5050 02:22:44,700 --> 02:22:45,920 really hit the... 5051 02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:47,020 the notes... 5052 02:22:47,020 --> 02:22:48,240 and wrap it up... 5053 02:22:48,240 --> 02:22:49,820 in a nice concise... 5054 02:22:49,820 --> 02:22:50,520 manner... 5055 02:22:50,520 --> 02:22:51,360 because... 5056 02:22:51,360 --> 02:22:52,280 it's too wordy... 5057 02:22:52,280 --> 02:22:53,020 at the moment... 5058 02:22:53,020 --> 02:22:54,640 already I'd say... 5059 02:22:54,640 --> 02:22:55,640 Ivan is... 5060 02:22:55,640 --> 02:22:56,800 thinking... 5061 02:22:56,800 --> 02:22:58,320 this is easy... 5062 02:22:58,320 --> 02:22:59,680 because she's lost... 5063 02:22:59,680 --> 02:23:00,140 the audience... 5064 02:23:00,140 --> 02:23:02,320 as did the other two... 5065 02:23:02,320 --> 02:23:04,200 and I can just... 5066 02:23:04,200 --> 02:23:05,480 I can just keep... 5067 02:23:05,480 --> 02:23:06,540 speaking after this... 5068 02:23:06,540 --> 02:23:07,460 and it's gonna sound... 5069 02:23:07,460 --> 02:23:08,120 again... 5070 02:23:08,120 --> 02:23:09,020 like water... 5071 02:23:09,020 --> 02:23:09,780 coming out of a tap... 5072 02:23:09,780 --> 02:23:10,400 it's gonna be fine... 5073 02:23:10,400 --> 02:23:11,400 I didn't have the information... 5074 02:23:11,400 --> 02:23:13,740 of your relationship... 5075 02:23:13,740 --> 02:23:14,700 or lack thereof... 5076 02:23:14,700 --> 02:23:15,740 or whatever relationship... 5077 02:23:15,740 --> 02:23:16,820 you had with... 5078 02:23:16,820 --> 02:23:17,400 Jim Gavin... 5079 02:23:17,400 --> 02:23:18,400 or Fianna Fáil... 5080 02:23:18,400 --> 02:23:19,160 so... 5081 02:23:19,160 --> 02:23:20,220 it's just around... 5082 02:23:20,220 --> 02:23:20,800 making sure... 5083 02:23:20,800 --> 02:23:21,500 the general public... 5084 02:23:21,500 --> 02:23:22,360 have the information... 5085 02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:23,040 that maybe you and I... 5086 02:23:23,040 --> 02:23:24,340 have inherently... 5087 02:23:24,340 --> 02:23:25,620 I think that's the gap... 5088 02:23:25,620 --> 02:23:26,660 that I would identify... 5089 02:23:26,660 --> 02:23:26,920 I have a question... 5090 02:23:26,920 --> 02:23:27,900 about podcasting... 5091 02:23:27,900 --> 02:23:28,900 and the future... 5092 02:23:28,900 --> 02:23:30,260 regulation of podcasting... 5093 02:23:30,260 --> 02:23:31,340 and I heard... 5094 02:23:31,340 --> 02:23:32,680 Deputy Malcolm Byrne... 5095 02:23:32,680 --> 02:23:33,680 and I heard yourself... 5096 02:23:33,680 --> 02:23:34,340 Chairman...

couldn't hear... 5101 02:23:37,240 --> 02:23:38,120 all the meeting... 5102 02:23:38,120 --> 02:23:39,640 but I have to say... 5103 02:23:39,640 --> 02:23:40,780 I just want to agree... 5104 02:23:40,780 --> 02:23:41,980 to disagree here... 5105 02:23:41,980 --> 02:23:42,900 so when I started... 5106 02:23:42,900 --> 02:23:43,500 the podcast... 5107 02:23:43,500 --> 02:23:44,180 I'd never done... 5108 02:23:44,180 --> 02:23:45,560 I'd done calling it... 5109 02:23:45,560 --> 02:23:47,300 which was a specific thing... 5110 02:23:47,300 --> 02:23:48,440 Wordy McWords... 5111 02:23:48,440 --> 02:23:49,680 thank you very much... 5112 02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:50,980 but this was new... 5113 02:23:50,980 --> 02:23:52,500 a big commitment... 5114 02:23:52,500 --> 02:23:53,660 for me to do it... 5115 02:23:53,660 --> 02:23:54,480 so I checked out... 5116 02:23:54,480 --> 02:23:55,350 what was the regulatory 5117 02:23:55,350 --> 02:23:56,160 situation... 5118 02:23:56,160 --> 02:23:57,360 and basically... 5119 02:23:57,360 --> 02:23:59,400 defamation law... 5120 02:23:59,400 --> 02:24:01,040 incitement to hatred... 5121 02:24:01,040 --> 02:24:01,540 were the... 5122 02:24:01,540 --> 02:24:01,860 you know... 5123 02:24:01,860 --> 02:24:03,860 the normal language... 5124 02:24:03,860 --> 02:24:05,540 there was no regulations... 5125 02:24:05,540 --> 02:24:06,820 podcasts weren't licensed... 5126 02:24:06,820 --> 02:24:07,660 or whatever... 5127 02:24:07,660 --> 02:24:08,520 and so people have said... 5128 02:24:08,520 --> 02:24:09,480 well this is a gap... 5129 02:24:09,480 --> 02:24:11,160 and we need to fill this gap... 5130 02:24:11,160 --> 02:24:12,940 I couldn't disagree more... 5131 02:24:12,940 --> 02:24:14,280 from this point of view... 5132 02:24:14,280 --> 02:24:14,600 Strong... 5133 02:24:14,600 --> 02:24:15,120 I find... 5134 02:24:15,120 --> 02:24:16,000 whether it's spoiled votes... 5135 02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:16,320 or anything... 5136 02:24:16,320 --> 02:24:17,740 there's a huge alienation... 5137 02:24:17,740 --> 02:24:19,160 from the mainstream media... 5138 02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:20,400 and podcasts are filling... 5139 02:24:20,400 --> 02:24:21,880 filling this gap... 5140 02:24:21,880 --> 02:24:23,120 and to be honest with you... 5141 02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:24,520 one of the things I used to do... 5142 02:24:24,520 --> 02:24:26,080 was look at the charts... 5143 02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:27,700 on the Apple podcast... 5144 02:24:27,700 --> 02:24:28,760 charts every week... 5145 02:24:28,760 --> 02:24:29,120

politics... 5153 02:24:35,280 --> 02:24:36,400 two Johnnies... 5154 02:24:36,400 --> 02:24:37,760 two Johnnies... 5155 02:24:37,760 --> 02:24:38,960 are on a different... 5156 02:24:38,960 --> 02:24:39,640 but like... 5157 02:24:39,640 --> 02:24:40,440 the point is this... 5158 02:24:40,440 --> 02:24:41,500 again with the two... 5159 02:24:41,500 --> 02:24:42,640 with the snide... 5160 02:24:42,640 --> 02:24:44,460 little snide remarks... 5161 02:24:44,460 --> 02:24:45,280 although... 5162 02:24:45,280 --> 02:24:46,600 maybe he just is a fan... 5163 02:24:46,600 --> 02:24:48,980 of the two Johnnies podcast... 5164 02:24:48,980 --> 02:24:49,700 but I didn't think... 5165 02:24:49,700 --> 02:24:50,240 two Johnnies... 5166 02:24:50,240 --> 02:24:51,210 were going to get a mention

getting at... 5466 02:30:25,780 --> 02:30:26,900 what I'm getting at here is... 5467 02:30:26,900 --> 02:30:28,680 a very specific incident... 5468 02:30:28,680 --> 02:30:30,100 whereby... 5469 02:30:30,100 --> 02:30:31,340 somebody could train... 5470 02:30:31,340 --> 02:30:32,300 a potential... 5471 02:30:32,300 --> 02:30:33,680 next president... 5472 02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:35,240 in relation to media... 5473 02:30:35,240 --> 02:30:36,040 and then... 5474 02:30:36,040 --> 02:30:36,720 on the same day... 5475 02:30:36,720 --> 02:30:38,320 or the same week... 5476 02:30:38,320 --> 02:30:38,960 present... 5477 02:30:38,960 --> 02:30:39,940 essentially present... 5478 02:30:39,940 --> 02:30:41,280 or broadcast... 5479 02:30:41,280 --> 02:30:41,960 as... 5480 02:30:41,960 --> 02:30:43,160 a political... 5481 02:30:43,160 --> 02:30:44,320 but that's a separate point... 5482 02:30:44,320 --> 02:30:45,100 to podcasting... 5483 02:30:45,100 --> 02:30:46,080 I thought your question... 5484 02:30:46,080 --> 02:30:46,860 was about podcasting... 5485 02:30:46,860 --> 02:30:47,900 well it's about podcasting... 5486 02:30:47,900 --> 02:30:48,860 but it's about presenting... 5487 02:30:48,860 --> 02:30:49,340 a segment... 5488 02:30:49,340 --> 02:30:50,280 so what I'm saying to you is... 5489 02:30:50,280 --> 02:30:51,420 not everyone understands... 5490 02:30:51,420 --> 02:30:51,980 the difference between... 5491 02:30:51,980 --> 02:30:52,640 being a broadcaster... 5492 02:30:52,640 --> 02:30:53,740 and being a podcaster... 5493 02:30:53,740 --> 02:30:54,240 I think... 5494 02:30:54,240 --> 02:30:55,860 it's so confusing... 5495 02:30:55,860 --> 02:30:57,320 the question has lost... 5496 02:30:57,320 --> 02:30:58,600 the run of itself here... 5497 02:30:58,600 --> 02:30:59,420 and we're... 5498 02:30:59,420 --> 02:31:01,080 we're left asking questions... 5499 02:31:01,080 --> 02:31:02,000 as to what the hell... 5500 02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:03,020 is going on... 5501 02:31:03,020 --> 02:31:04,220 it's a waffle house... 5502 02:31:04,220 --> 02:31:05,740 as somebody's just said there... 5503 02:31:05,740 --> 02:31:07,240 Sean

02:31:29,620 --> 02:31:30,580 in a political sense... 5527 02:31:30,580 --> 02:31:31,700 and during an election campaign... 5528 02:31:31,700 --> 02:31:32,460 I think there should be... 5529 02:31:32,460 --> 02:31:33,740 actually a quite specific case... 5530 02:31:33,740 --> 02:31:34,900 of regulation... 5531 02:31:34,900 --> 02:31:35,340 well... 5532 02:31:35,340 --> 02:31:36,100 all

02:31:39,600 --> 02:31:40,300 at the moment... 5537 02:31:40,300 --> 02:31:41,820 is personal expression... 5538 02:31:41,820 --> 02:31:42,280 of opinion... 5539 02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:43,200 and it's done on Apple... 5540 02:31:43,200 --> 02:31:44,280 and Spotify... 5541 02:31:44,280 --> 02:31:44,820 and... 5542 02:31:44,820 --> 02:31:45,180 like... 5543 02:31:45,180 --> 02:31:45,860 one of the things... 5544 02:31:45,860 --> 02:31:46,580 I took from... 5545 02:31:46,580 --> 02:31:47,200 it's... 5546 02:31:47,200 --> 02:31:48,340 it's done on Apple... 5547 02:31:48,340 --> 02:31:49,320 and Spotify... 5548 02:31:49,320 --> 02:31:50,260 he can go alone though... 5549 02:31:50,260 --> 02:31:51,080 he can just... 5550 02:31:51,080 --> 02:31:52,500 launch his own podcast... 5551 02:31:52,500

02:31:56,620 --> 02:31:57,880 and it's certainly true... 5556 02:31:57,880 --> 02:31:59,660 freedom of expression... 5557 02:31:59,660 --> 02:32:02,200 is the most important thing... 5558 02:32:02,200 --> 02:32:03,920 in Irish society... 5559 02:32:03,920 --> 02:32:05,160 and if you start... 5560 02:32:05,160 --> 02:32:06,960 to limit freedom of expression... 5561 02:32:06,960 --> 02:32:08,160 to

02:32:15,580 --> 02:32:16,680 and how inappropriate is it... 5570 02:32:16,680 --> 02:32:17,720 say this committee... 5571 02:32:17,720 --> 02:32:19,280 or group decided that... 5572 02:32:19,280 -->

02:42:06,520 he isn't swinging out... 6120 02:42:06,520 --> 02:42:08,520 as hard on this one... 6121 02:42:08,520 --> 02:42:09,740 doesn't really feel... 6122 02:42:09,740 --> 02:42:10,520 as

02:42:34,560 --> 02:42:36,000 that if you have... 6148 02:42:36,000 --> 02:42:37,560 a potential conflict... 6149 02:42:37,560 --> 02:42:38,200 it should... 6150 02:42:38,200 --> 02:42:39,400 it should be declared... 6151 02:42:39,400 --> 02:42:40,420 because you do have... 6152 02:42:40,420 --> 02:42:41,660 influence Ivan... 6153 02:42:41,660 --> 02:42:42,580 no but it's... 6154 02:42:42,580

playing down the numbers... 6173 02:43:03,800 --> 02:43:04,540 because he doesn't want... 6174 02:43:04,540 --> 02:43:05,480 to come across as someone... 6175 02:43:05,480 --> 02:43:07,000 who holds

last 7939 03:16:26,930 --> 03:16:28,410 year, who was pretty much 7940 03:16:28,410 --> 03:16:29,960 dismissed by you as a candidate 7941 03:16:29,960 --> 03:16:31,400 in both elections, made me 7942 03:16:31,400 --> 03:16:32,680 question, were there any 7943 03:16:32,680 --> 03:16:34,190 candidates in either of those 7944 03:16:34,190 --> 03:16:35,870 races who were paying Mr. Yates 7945 03:16:35,870 --> 03:16:37,440 during that election for media 7946 03:16:37,440 --> 03:16:38,320 training? 7947 03:16:38,320 --> 03:16:47,840 So I'm just saying for you. 7948 03:16:47,840 --> 03:16:50,080 but we don't if we don't have 7949 03:16:50,080 --> 03:16:50,840 the information. 7950 03:16:51,440 --> 03:16:52,580 And these revelations that have 7951 03:16:52,580 --> 03:16:53,020 come out 7952 03:16:53,020 --> 03:16:56,000 have certainly prompted me to 7953 03:16:56,000 --> 03:16:56,480 question 7954 03:16:56,480 --> 03:16:57,970 your objectivity and your 7955 03:16:57,970 --> 03:16:59,060 impartiality. 7956 03:16:59,460 --> 03:17:00,680 So just for feedback in terms 7957 03:17:00,680 --> 03:17:02,400 of what you've said so far. 7958 03:17:02,720 --> 03:17:04,860 Her style is good. 7959 03:17:05,060 --> 03:17:05,720 I'll give her that. 7960 03:17:06,180 --> 03:17:08,240 And what would you say? 7961 03:17:08,360 --> 03:17:10,820 The ambience has taken a bit of 7962 03:17:10,820 --> 03:17:13,780 a chilled turn there with that. 7963 03:17:13,780 --> 03:17:16,180 But the meat and potatoes of 7964 03:17:16,180 --> 03:17:18,840 what she's actually getting at, 7965 03:17:19,140 --> 03:17:22,020 it's not worth anything. 7966 03:17:22,180 --> 03:17:22,860 It's for the birds. 7967 03:17:23,700 --> 03:17:24,800 And she's only trying to 7968 03:17:24,800 --> 03:17:26,540 develop and build on 7969 03:17:26,540 --> 03:17:28,580 the previous contenders' 7970 03:17:28,580 --> 03:17:29,820 accusations, 7971 03:17:31,220 --> 03:17:33,120 which have already been eloquently 7972 03:17:33,120 --> 03:17:35,240 dismissed by Yeats. 7973 03:17:36,140 --> 03:17:39,400 So, I mean, fair dues to her. 7974 03:17:39,400 --> 03:17:41,660 But, I mean, you need to have... 7975 03:17:41,660 --> 03:17:43,500 You should have had another 7976 03:17:43,500 --> 03:17:45,780 thing to take to him after that. 7977 03:17:45,920 --> 03:17:47,210 We don't want to replay the 7978 03:17:47,210 --> 03:17:47,880 hits here, 7979 03:17:48,220 --> 03:17:49,190 which is all that's going to 7980 03:17:49,190 --> 03:17:50,140 happen in this. 7981 03:17:50,200 --> 03:17:51,460 Sure, but just briefly, really. 7982 03:17:51,580 --> 03:17:52,750 I just want to make a comment 7983 03:17:52,750 --> 03:17:54,000 about Dublin Rat Down. 7984 03:17:54,360 --> 03:17:55,790 I actually did an event in your 7985 03:17:55,790 --> 03:17:56,840 constituency, 7986 03:17:57,080 --> 03:17:58,200 the Sandiford Business District. 7987 03:17:58,640 --> 03:17:59,780 I chaired a debate on that. 7988 03:18:00,040 --> 03:18:00,920 And I was actually taken with 7989 03:18:00,920 --> 03:18:02,140 your performance on that. 7990 03:18:02,180 --> 03:18:03,200 And I think I alluded to that 7991 03:18:03,200 --> 03:18:03,900 on the podcast, 7992 03:18:04,320 --> 03:18:05,380 that you were a... 7993 03:18:05,380 --> 03:18:06,240 You described me as a worthy 7994 03:18:06,240 --> 03:18:06,760 candidate. 7995 03:18:06,760 --> 03:18:07,740 And you spent more time talking 7996 03:18:07,740 --> 03:18:08,440 about the candidate 7997 03:18:08,440 --> 03:18:09,320 who didn't show up to that 7998 03:18:09,320 --> 03:18:09,720 event. 7999 03:18:09,720 --> 03:18:10,720 But that's the event on in your 8000 03:18:10,720 --> 03:18:11,580 podcast afterwards. 8001 03:18:11,600 --> 03:18:12,740 Yes, that was an independent... 8002 03:18:12,740 --> 03:18:14,860 But I did not train Jay Brennan. 8003 03:18:14,860 --> 03:18:15,190 Let's not go to every 8004 03:18:15,190 --> 03:18:15,500 constituency. 8005 03:18:15,500 --> 03:18:17,260 I did not train Jay Brennan. 8006 03:18:17,480 --> 03:18:18,620 I had no connection with any of 8007 03:18:18,620 --> 03:18:19,800 the other candidates. 8008 03:18:19,820 --> 03:18:20,120 No problem. 8009 03:18:20,300 --> 03:18:21,490 I'm just telling you, but this 8010 03:18:21,490 --> 03:18:22,140 is my point, 8011 03:18:22,340 --> 03:18:24,390 is that I get to judge objectivity 8012 03:18:24,390 --> 03:18:25,660 and impartiality 8013 03:18:25,660 --> 03:18:27,300 as a listener, as a candidate. 8014 03:18:27,360 --> 03:18:27,740 That's a fair point. 8015 03:18:27,880 --> 03:18:29,200 And this is the point, is that 8016 03:18:29,200 --> 03:18:30,340 you can't do that for me 8017 03:18:30,340 --> 03:18:31,570 just because you think you can 8018 03:18:31,570 --> 03:18:32,740 separate it in your head. 8019 03:18:32,960 --> 03:18:34,260 That's what made me question it. 8020 03:18:34,760 --> 03:18:36,340 Anyway, to some more direct 8021 03:18:36,340 --> 03:18:37,120 questions. 8022 03:18:37,440 --> 03:18:38,770 Has any newspaper or radio 8023 03:18:38,770 --> 03:18:40,200 station ever asked you 8024 03:18:40,200 --> 03:18:41,600 for a list of clients to ensure 8025 03:18:41,600 --> 03:18:42,280 that you're engaging 8026 03:18:42,280 --> 03:18:43,280 with adequate independence? 8027 03:18:44,280 --> 03:18:44,520 Sorry? 8028 03:18:44,820 --> 03:18:47,050 Has any radio station or 8029 03:18:47,050 --> 03:18:49,760 newspaper ever asked you 8030 03:18:49,760 --> 03:18:50,860 for a list of clients? 8031 03:18:51,520 --> 03:18:52,300 Not that I'm aware of. 8032 03:18:52,340 --> 03:18:53,060 Okay, no problem. 8033 03:18:53,460 --> 03:18:54,130 And how many media 8034 03:18:54,130 --> 03:18:55,760 organisations... 8035 03:18:56,520 --> 03:18:57,760 Not that you're aware of, or... 8036 03:18:58,280 --> 03:18:59,660 No, not to my knowledge. 8037 03:18:59,800 --> 03:19:00,200 Not to my knowledge. 8038 03:19:00,380 --> 03:19:01,440 No, is the answer, yeah. 8039 03:19:01,960 --> 03:19:03,880 How many media organisations, 8040 03:19:04,320 --> 03:19:06,160 print and broadcast, say, over 8041 03:19:06,160 --> 03:19:07,120 the last 12 months, 8042 03:19:07,260 --> 03:19:07,700 have you... 8043 03:19:07,700 --> 03:19:08,440 Yeah, I mean, look, 8044 03:19:09,200 --> 03:19:11,560 he probably should have been 8045 03:19:11,560 --> 03:19:13,100 asked, you know. 8046 03:19:13,940 --> 03:19:15,240 So, I mean, this is, as I said 8047 03:19:15,240 --> 03:19:15,900 to you, 8048 03:19:16,260 --> 03:19:17,240 even though she was only trying 8049 03:19:17,240 --> 03:19:17,740 to develop 8050 03:19:17,740 --> 03:19:18,720 on your man's point, 8051 03:19:19,540 --> 03:19:21,630 I thought that, or I do think 8052 03:19:21,630 --> 03:19:22,340 that, 8053 03:19:22,860 --> 03:19:25,790 her demeanour is maybe making 8054 03:19:25,790 --> 03:19:26,320 Ivan 8055 03:19:26,320 --> 03:19:27,780 a little bit uncomfortable here. 8056 03:19:28,640 --> 03:19:29,770 And he's had to quietly bat 8057 03:19:29,770 --> 03:19:31,160 away that last one 8058 03:19:31,160 --> 03:19:32,920 without any elaboration. 8059 03:19:33,080 --> 03:19:34,860 He didn't have any extra... 8060 03:19:36,220 --> 03:19:39,150 sauce or Yates dust to sprinkle 8061 03:19:39,150 --> 03:19:39,960 on that. 8062 03:19:40,000 --> 03:19:40,860 It was just a kind of muted, 8063 03:19:41,760 --> 03:19:43,080 a kind of quieted no. 8064 03:19:43,820 --> 03:19:44,600 So interesting to see how this 8065 03:19:44,600 --> 03:19:45,760 one is developing. 8066 03:19:45,860 --> 03:19:46,860 I actually thought he was... 8067 03:19:47,860 --> 03:19:49,750 He had won and done 10 minutes 8068 03:19:49,750 --> 03:19:50,420 ago. 8069

03:21:31,620 --> 03:21:32,710 one of those balls that you get 8146 03:21:32,710 --> 03:21:33,380 in a fucking, 8147 03:21:34,020 --> 03:21:34,800 a ball pit. 8148 03:21:35,420 --> 03:21:36,060 Just like, 8149 03:21:36,220 --> 03:21:37,220 nothing. 8150 03:21:37,900 --> 03:21:38,220 That's fine. 8151 03:21:38,360 --> 03:21:38,860 So I think, 8152 03:21:38,980 --> 03:21:39,160 I mean, 8153 03:21:39,220 --> 03:21:39,800 for me then, 8154 03:21:39,840 --> 03:21:41,600 what it boils down to is... 8155 03:21:41,600 --> 03:21:42,780 He's taking root, 8156 03:21:43,080 --> 03:21:44,380 as Boone says there, 8157 03:21:44,580 --> 03:21:45,200 on his own desk. 8158 03:21:45,220 --> 03:21:46,600 in terms of what you're saying. 8159 03:21:46,680 --> 03:21:48,000 Because as Deputy Byrne 8160 03:21:48,000 --> 03:21:49,380 referenced earlier, 8161 03:21:49,380 --> 03:21:50,870 you have referred to kind of 8162 03:21:50,870 --> 03:21:52,560 the idea of disclosing your 8163 03:21:52,560 --> 03:21:53,620 work or interests 8164 03:21:53,620 --> 03:21:55,850 as a potential mood killer in a 8165 03:21:55,850 --> 03:21:57,420 broadcasting situation. 8166 03:21:57,680 --> 03:21:58,860 But then you're also, 8167 03:21:59,280 --> 03:22:00,950 so you are also saying that it 8168 03:22:00,950 --> 03:22:02,430 has no impact on your 8169 03:22:02,430 --> 03:22:04,360 independence as a commentator 8170 03:22:04,360 --> 03:22:04,960 or broadcaster. 8171 03:22:05,140 --> 03:22:06,180 So which is it? 8172 03:22:06,260 --> 03:22:08,190 Like, do people know and trust 8173 03:22:08,190 --> 03:22:09,420 that you do other work 8174 03:22:09,420 --> 03:22:10,830 and they can make up their mind 8175 03:22:10,830 --> 03:22:11,620 to trust you? 8176 03:22:11,820 --> 03:22:12,780 Or do you think, 8177 03:22:13,240 --> 03:22:14,810 would knowing that work that 8178 03:22:14,810 --> 03:22:16,700 broadcasters do off air, 8179 03:22:16,760 --> 03:22:17,630 and I'm not just talking about 8180 03:22:17,630 --> 03:22:18,260 you, Mr Yates, 8181 03:22:18,260 --> 03:22:19,140 I'm talking about everybody, 8182 03:22:19,500 --> 03:22:20,430 that that would be a mood 8183 03:22:20,430 --> 03:22:21,420 killer, as you say. 8184 03:22:21,420 --> 03:22:21,680 Wrap it up. 8185 03:22:21,700 --> 03:22:22,440 I assume that's what you mean 8186 03:22:22,440 --> 03:22:23,000 by a mood killer. 8187 03:22:23,520 --> 03:22:24,000 Wrap it up. 8188 03:22:24,520 --> 03:22:26,200 What I spoke about that, 8189 03:22:26,360 --> 03:22:27,500 and I think if you look at my 8190 03:22:27,500 --> 03:22:27,940 words, 8191 03:22:28,420 --> 03:22:30,050 I was speaking exclusively in 8192 03:22:30,050 --> 03:22:32,040 the context of a podcast. 8193 03:22:32,240 --> 03:22:33,150 Well, now I'm asking about it 8194 03:22:33,150 --> 03:22:33,820 more broadly. 8195 03:22:34,120 --> 03:22:35,580 Well, I actually don't do much 8196 03:22:35,580 --> 03:22:36,880 broadcasting anymore. 8197 03:22:37,240 --> 03:22:38,580 But for the broadcasting that 8198 03:22:38,580 --> 03:22:39,240 you do do, 8199 03:22:40,120 --> 03:22:41,600 I ask the same question then. 8200 03:22:41,600 --> 03:22:42,320 This question is? 8201 03:22:43,120 --> 03:22:44,350 Do you still believe that it is 8202 03:22:44,350 --> 03:22:45,300 a mood killer 8203 03:22:45,300 --> 03:22:47,120 to make disclosures about your 8204 03:22:47,120 --> 03:22:48,980 interests as a broadcaster? 8205 03:22:49,280 --> 03:22:51,780 The situation is this. 8206 03:22:52,460 --> 03:22:53,160 You can't answer that. 8207 03:22:53,160 --> 03:22:56,800 No, my reliance on it is that, 8208 03:22:57,140 --> 03:22:58,380 insofar as presenting, 8209 03:22:59,060 --> 03:23:00,360 so I'm in Curraghian Park, 8210 03:23:00,460 --> 03:23:01,200 I'm presenting this. 8211 03:23:01,500 --> 03:23:02,100 My job... 8212 03:23:02,100 --> 03:23:03,640 You hammered your podcast. 8213 03:23:03,980 --> 03:23:04,980 Thank you very, very much. 8214 03:23:05,040 --> 03:23:06,290 Is it not cold out in the goosers 8215 03:23:06,290 --> 03:23:07,080 today, Conn? 8216 03:23:07,080 --> 03:23:08,630 We have a fantastic little 8217 03:23:08,630 --> 03:23:09,940 heater down there. 8218 03:23:10,040 --> 03:23:11,480 And then the barista machine, 8219 03:23:11,580 --> 03:23:12,400 I'm not sure you can see it 8220 03:23:12,400 --> 03:23:12,820 there. 8221 03:23:13,500 --> 03:23:15,120 That's still piping hot. 8222 03:23:16,320 --> 03:23:18,920 So, heats up quite nicely here. 8223 03:23:19,440 --> 03:23:20,180 And thanks for the tip. 8224 03:23:20,320 --> 03:23:22,070 is to do what the producer says 8225 03:23:22,070 --> 03:23:22,380 to do, 8226 03:23:22,480 --> 03:23:23,560 to get through this event, 8227 03:23:23,820 --> 03:23:24,460 a live TV, 8228 03:23:24,720 --> 03:23:25,540 a radio programme. 8229 03:23:25,880 --> 03:23:27,180 There is a production team, 8230 03:23:27,400 --> 03:23:28,380 there is an editorial team. 8231 03:23:28,520 --> 03:23:30,440 And the presenter is a mere... 8232 03:23:30,440 --> 03:23:32,160 a mere servant of that. 8233 03:23:32,320 --> 03:23:33,900 I have no editorial role. 8234 03:23:34,180 --> 03:23:35,040 In podcasting, 8235 03:23:35,040 --> 03:23:36,060 I've absolutely got an 8236 03:23:36,060 --> 03:23:36,960 editorial role. 8237 03:23:37,120 --> 03:23:38,060 The whole point is, 8238 03:23:38,200 --> 03:23:39,610 you're getting exclusively my 8239 03:23:39,610 --> 03:23:40,460 opinions. 8240 03:23:40,820 --> 03:23:42,400 And I actually think the public 8241 03:23:42,400 --> 03:23:43,800 have no difficulty. 8242 03:23:44,300 --> 03:23:45,540 And what I would say is this. 8243 03:23:45,860 --> 03:23:47,320 The one question I feel 8244 03:23:47,320 --> 03:23:48,980 is the valid question to me. 8245 03:23:49,400 --> 03:23:50,740 When I give an opinion, 8246 03:23:50,900 --> 03:23:51,660 is it authentic 8247 03:23:51,660 --> 03:23:53,300 or is it paid for by somebody 8248 03:23:53,300 --> 03:23:53,840 else? 8249 03:23:54,040 --> 03:23:55,140 And the truth is, 8250 03:23:55,340 --> 03:23:56,500 and you may not believe this, 8251 03:23:56,680 --> 03:23:57,460 but the truth is, 8252 03:23:57,540 --> 03:23:58,360 it is always, 8253 03:23:58,800 --> 03:23:59,260 fearlessly, 8254 03:23:59,520 --> 03:24:00,360 my own opinion. 8255 03:24:00,740 --> 03:24:01,180 Fearless. 8256 03:24:01,180 --> 03:24:02,260 You're editing it here as well. 8257 03:24:02,340 --> 03:24:03,280 You're suggesting what the 8258 03:24:03,280 --> 03:24:03,760 questions are 8259 03:24:03,760 --> 03:24:04,560 that we can put to you. 8260 03:24:04,600 --> 03:24:05,460 But we're putting these 8261 03:24:05,460 --> 03:24:06,140 questions to you 8262 03:24:06,140 --> 03:24:07,390 and you're not giving us the 8263 03:24:07,390 --> 03:24:07,720 answers 8264 03:24:07,720 --> 03:24:08,180 that we're looking for. 8265 03:24:08,180 --> 03:24:09,660 What question did I not answer? 8266 03:24:09,800 --> 03:24:11,670 But any of the questions that I 8267 03:24:11,670 --> 03:24:12,120 asked there 8268 03:24:12,120 --> 03:24:13,380 around your client base 8269 03:24:13,380 --> 03:24:15,080 to simply give us a picture, 8270 03:24:15,500 --> 03:24:16,520 but also to say, 8271 03:24:16,740 --> 03:24:18,000 I asked you about it 8272 03:24:18,000 --> 03:24:18,960 and you said that was only 8273 03:24:18,960 --> 03:24:19,840 related to podcasts. 8274 03:24:20,040 --> 03:24:20,340 And I said, 8275 03:24:20,400 --> 03:24:21,130 well, can you ask me in 8276 03:24:21,130 --> 03:24:22,060 relation to broadcasting? 8277 03:24:22,060 --> 03:24:22,410 In terms of the mood, the mood 8278 03:24:22,410 --> 03:24:22,580 killer. 8279 03:24:22,580 --> 03:24:23,880 And you evaded again. 8280 03:24:24,260 --> 03:24:24,880 Because I think... 8281 03:24:24,880 --> 03:24:26,900 They've saved the best to last 8282 03:24:26,900 --> 03:24:27,740 in terms of, 8283 03:24:27,740 --> 03:24:28,420 you know, 8284 03:24:28,460 --> 03:24:29,860 power with herself. 8285 03:24:30,120 --> 03:24:31,800 I don't know if she is the last, 8286 03:24:31,880 --> 03:24:33,550 but they could have actually 8287 03:24:33,550 --> 03:24:34,040 all done 8288 03:24:34,040 --> 03:24:35,620 with having that chutzpah. 8289 03:24:36,740 --> 03:24:37,080 Do you know? 8290 03:24:37,360 --> 03:24:39,290 There was a real downshift in 8291 03:24:39,290 --> 03:24:39,980 the vibe 8292 03:24:39,980 --> 03:24:41,700 with the previous TD or 8293 03:24:41,700 --> 03:24:42,720 minister. 8294 03:24:44,660 --> 03:24:45,700 And look at that. 8295 03:24:45,980 --> 03:24:47,840 It's just another beautiful 8296 03:24:47,840 --> 03:24:49,080 still as well. 8297 03:24:49,560 --> 03:24:51,340 Just the exasperation 8298 03:24:51,340 --> 03:24:53,690 with what we're having to deal 8299 03:24:53,690 --> 03:24:54,660 with here. 8300 03:24:56,120 --> 03:24:57,280 But, you know, 8301 03:24:57,320 --> 03:24:58,380 that sort of energy 8302 03:24:58,380 --> 03:25:00,100 that she's bringing to the 8303 03:25:00,100 --> 03:25:00,940 grilling 8304 03:25:00,940 --> 03:25:03,260 was unfortunately gone 8305 03:25:03,260 --> 03:25:06,360 from the previous 40 minutes, 8306 03:25:06,500 --> 03:25:07,660 however long it was. 8307 03:25:07,760 --> 03:25:08,800 They should have all done that. 8308 03:25:09,360 --> 03:25:10,060 It would have made for 8309 03:25:10,060 --> 03:25:11,480 even more entertaining viewing. 8310 03:25:12,480 --> 03:25:13,580 I think this is the issue. 8311 03:25:13,640 --> 03:25:14,140 As you're saying, 8312 03:25:14,460 --> 03:25:15,820 I have the personal integrity 8313 03:25:15,820 --> 03:25:17,330 to say that I am doing this job 8314 03:25:17,330 --> 03:25:17,680 today 8315 03:25:17,680 --> 03:25:19,200 and another job tomorrow. 8316 03:25:19,420 --> 03:25:20,820 That is absurd. 8317 03:25:21,180 --> 03:25:22,680 You are either a transparent, 8318 03:25:22,940 --> 03:25:23,880 objective presenter 8319 03:25:23,880 --> 03:25:24,830 of a news-encouraged affairs 8320 03:25:24,830 --> 03:25:25,240 programme 8321 03:25:25,240 --> 03:25:26,000 or you're not. 8322 03:25:26,320 --> 03:25:26,980 And the public, 8323 03:25:27,220 --> 03:25:27,700 the listeners, 8324 03:25:27,940 --> 03:25:29,490 don't have the information that 8325 03:25:29,490 --> 03:25:29,980 you have. 8326 03:25:30,240 --> 03:25:30,700 They cannot. 8327 03:25:30,900 --> 03:25:32,040 You're saying it's up to people 8328 03:25:32,040 --> 03:25:32,500 to decide 8329 03:25:32,500 --> 03:25:33,380 and people can decide 8330 03:25:33,380 --> 03:25:34,560 and listeners can decide, 8331 03:25:34,700 --> 03:25:35,900 but they cannot decide 8332 03:25:35,900 --> 03:25:36,640 if they don't have the 8333 03:25:36,640 --> 03:25:37,200 information. 8334 03:25:37,760 --> 03:25:38,600 And we discussed this 8335 03:25:38,600 --> 03:25:40,580 in the committee earlier today 8336 03:25:40,580 --> 03:25:41,570 because I think it goes way 8337 03:25:41,570 --> 03:25:42,580 beyond training. 8338 03:25:43,120 --> 03:25:44,400 It is about the many, 8339 03:25:44,500 --> 03:25:45,720 many commercial interests 8340 03:25:45,720 --> 03:25:46,580 that are held now. 8341 03:25:46,880 --> 03:25:47,620 And you referenced 8342 03:25:47,620 --> 03:25:48,580 my own comments earlier. 8343 03:25:48,700 --> 03:25:49,300 I do believe 8344 03:25:49,300 --> 03:25:50,120 that there are challenges 8345 03:25:50,120 --> 03:25:51,060 within the broadcasting 8346 03:25:51,060 -->

--> 03:30:26,220 it will be journalists 8561 03:30:26,220 --> 03:30:27,440 talking to journalists. 8562 03:30:27,740 --> 03:30:28,960 It'll be a monoculture. 8563 03:30:29,200 --> 03:30:30,100 And good luck with that. 8564 03:30:30,200 --> 03:30:31,020 And I think the public 8565 03:30:31,020 --> 03:30:32,120 will not be well served. 8566 03:30:33,060 --> 03:30:34,600 You said in previous... 8567 03:30:34,600 --> 03:30:35,640 No one's going to tune in. 8568 03:30:37,020 --> 03:30:38,700 That you purposely 8569 03:30:38,700 --> 03:30:41,180 didn't inform Matt Cooper 8570 03:30:41,180 --> 03:30:41,840 or NK management 8571 03:30:41,840 --> 03:30:43,560 of your involvement. 8572 03:30:43,840 --> 03:30:45,340 Ivan moves around the room 8573 03:30:45,340 --> 03:30:47,580 rhetorically like an albatross 8574 03:30:47,580 --> 03:30:48,740 with the freedom 8575 03:30:48,740 --> 03:30:50,660 of a full summer sky. 8576 03:30:51,040 --> 03:30:51,720 Beautifully put. 8577 03:30:51,960 --> 03:30:52,700 But you also said 8578 03:30:52,700 --> 03:30:54,200 in your LinkedIn profile... 8579 03:30:54,200 --> 03:30:56,520 And Yates is the Steven Seagal 8580 03:30:56,520 --> 03:30:57,700 of verbal combat. 8581 03:30:57,980 --> 03:30:58,840 The second thing now 8582 03:30:58,840 --> 03:31:00,400 is that you are a media trainer. 8583 03:31:01,420 --> 03:31:02,500 So was it a case of 8584 03:31:02,500 --> 03:31:03,300 they didn't want to know? 8585 03:31:04,500 --> 03:31:05,240 Or was it a case of... 8586 03:31:05,240 --> 03:31:05,940 I mean, surely to God 8587 03:31:05,940 --> 03:31:06,400 they would have known 8588 03:31:06,400 --> 03:31:08,380 you were involved in coaching 8589 03:31:08,380 --> 03:31:09,400 as per the article 8590 03:31:09,400 --> 03:31:10,020 in the Daily Mail 8591 03:31:10,020 --> 03:31:10,540 two years ago 8592 03:31:10,540 --> 03:31:11,440 in coaching Fianna Fáil 8593 03:31:11,440 --> 03:31:12,760 ministers in the past. 8594 03:31:13,780 --> 03:31:14,860 So the question is? 8595 03:31:15,260 --> 03:31:16,320 The question is... 8596 03:31:16,320 --> 03:31:16,900 Is... 8597 03:31:16,900 --> 03:31:18,040 Did NK management 8598 03:31:18,040 --> 03:31:18,920 or Matt Cooper 8599 03:31:18,920 --> 03:31:20,060 know of your involvement? 8600 03:31:21,480 --> 03:31:22,500 Not that I'm aware of. 8601 03:31:22,580 --> 03:31:23,300 I certainly... 8602 03:31:23,300 --> 03:31:24,600 We had no discussion about that. 8603 03:31:24,740 --> 03:31:25,640 So you didn't declare it 8604 03:31:25,640 --> 03:31:26,160 nor did they ask? 8605 03:31:26,160 --> 03:31:28,180 No, that's my understanding. 8606 03:31:28,300 --> 03:31:29,180 But just for clarity... 8607 03:31:29,180 --> 03:31:30,780 So the Yateser 8608 03:31:30,780 --> 03:31:32,760 was with NK management. 8609 03:31:32,920 --> 03:31:33,880 Have I got that correct? 8610 03:31:34,220 --> 03:31:35,000 NK Ultra. 8611 03:31:36,440 --> 03:31:36,800 And... 8612 03:31:36,800 --> 03:31:39,860 He didn't... 8613 03:31:39,860 --> 03:31:40,860 He didn't... 8614 03:31:40,860 --> 03:31:42,420 disclose that to them. 8615 03:31:42,480 --> 03:31:43,860 I'd say Yates' biggest... 8616 03:31:45,480 --> 03:31:47,180 problem that he has 8617 03:31:47,180 --> 03:31:49,400 is the ties that have been 8618 03:31:49,400 --> 03:31:49,760 forged 8619 03:31:49,760 --> 03:31:51,080 with, you know, 8620 03:31:51,200 --> 03:31:51,860 the media corporations. 8621 03:31:52,860 --> 03:31:54,080 You know, 8622 03:31:54,120 --> 03:31:55,080 he might not get a gig 8623 03:31:55,080 --> 03:31:56,040 with them now. 8624 03:31:59,160 --> 03:32:00,900 that's even more. 8625 03:32:01,560 --> 03:32:03,020 Reason for him to go solo. 8626 03:32:03,740 --> 03:32:04,820 Do his own stuff. 8627 03:32:05,360 --> 03:32:06,780 Get U3 infotainment 8628 03:32:06,780 --> 03:32:08,220 pumping out a brand new pod. 8629 03:32:09,080 --> 03:32:10,500 And there's been no shortage 8630 03:32:10,500 --> 03:32:11,420 of suggestions 8631 03:32:11,420 --> 03:32:12,680 for what that pod could be 8632 03:32:12,680 --> 03:32:13,820 or how it would manifest. 8633 03:32:14,000 --> 03:32:14,840 harass you at any stage. 8634 03:32:15,060 --> 03:32:15,380 Absolutely. 8635 03:32:15,920 --> 03:32:17,400 And I wouldn't try 8636 03:32:17,400 --> 03:32:17,880 and put them 8637 03:32:17,880 --> 03:32:18,540 in an individual

03:35:10,460 --> 03:35:11,140 to get clear in my head 8800 03:35:11,140 --> 03:35:13,580 that you do a session 8801 03:35:13,580 --> 03:35:14,220 with an individual. 8802 03:35:14,340 --> 03:35:14,500

03:46:32,660 the score seemingly, 9403 03:46:32,980 --> 03:46:33,720 is unanimous. 9404 03:46:34,040 --> 03:46:35,900 It was a Yates fest. 9405 03:46:36,020 --> 03:46:36,420 He was, 9406 03:46:36,460 --> 03:46:37,020 and you were correct, 9407 03:46:37,080 --> 03:46:38,380 that was seized on, 9408 03:46:38,500 --> 03:46:39,640 by the Catherine Connolly 9409 03:46:39,640 --> 03:46:40,280 campaign, 9410 03:46:40,720 --> 03:46:41,420 and the thing used, 9411 03:46:41,540 --> 03:46:42,160 and blown up, 9412 03:46:42,280 --> 03:46:42,800 and amplified, 9413 03:46:43,760 --> 03:46:44,200 ultimately, 9414 03:46:44,400 --> 03:46:44,920 to damage, 9415 03:46:45,800 --> 03:46:47,160 the Feedy Gale candidate, 9416 03:46:47,280 --> 03:46:48,060 who was Heather Humphreys, 9417 03:46:48,560 --> 03:46:49,420 and it was, 9418 03:46:49,420 --> 03:46:50,220 out there, 9419 03:46:50,640 --> 03:46:51,980 across all platforms, 9420 03:46:52,120 --> 03:46:53,460 in the space of, 9421 03:46:53,760 --> 03:46:54,540 I'd say minutes, 9422 03:46:54,680 --> 03:46:55,400 hundreds of thousands, 9423 03:46:56,000 --> 03:46:56,620 of pages, 9424 03:46:56,780 --> 03:46:57,200 and shares, 9425 03:46:57,320 --> 03:46:57,920 or whatever it is, 9426 03:46:57,980 --> 03:46:58,990 across certain political 9427 03:46:58,990 --> 03:46:59,460 parties, 9428 03:47:00,000 --> 03:47:00,320 to, 9429 03:47:00,420 --> 03:47:01,780 make it out, 9430 03:47:01,880 --> 03:47:02,780 that this was, 9431 03:47:02,880 --> 03:47:03,620 something that, 9432 03:47:04,120 --> 03:47:04,900 Feedy Gale, 9433 03:47:05,020 --> 03:47:05,660 were behind. 9434 03:47:05,760 --> 03:47:06,400 And maybe you might just, 9435 03:47:06,520 --> 03:47:07,360 you probably might have said it 9436 03:47:07,360 --> 03:47:07,640 there, 9437 03:47:07,740 --> 03:47:08,700 or put on the record, 9438 03:47:09,180 --> 03:47:10,500 that that is not the case, 9439 03:47:10,780 --> 03:47:11,460 that it was not, 9440

03:47:31,940 with the party since. 9459 03:47:32,220 --> 03:47:32,540 In fact, 9460 03:47:32,620 --> 03:47:33,880 we've been giving out, 9461 03:47:33,880 --> 03:47:34,540 about each other, 9462

03:48:10,540 --> 03:48:11,400 But I think we've actually 9492 03:48:11,400 --> 03:48:11,980 managed, 9493 03:48:12,160 --> 03:48:13,440 we've transcended everything, 9494 03:48:14,180 --> 03:48:15,460
