Who’s he talking about? Agree with everything the man said.
2018 was 10 years ago?
Obviously lucky enough not to watch late late that much because this was not 10 years ago.
“He’s never been invited back” the bloke does countless voiceovers on RTE and advertisements
The man speaks facts
This was not ten years ago but it’s a great opportunity to point out, once again, how awkward Tubridy is during Emmet’s rant and the bit that always irked me about Ryan is when the audience applauds(this video doesn’t show it) he goes “There ya go,” as if it’s what Emmet was looking for
He’s been on RTE since this:
https://www.rte.ie/news/claire-byrne-live/2020/0213/1115136-there-is-an-entire-generation-who-have-been-left-behind/
He peaked at “Just Saying”
Very well said, sums up what’s happening.
What’s the normal interval between Late Late appearances? Surely most guests are only on once?
Ive seen or heard him on RTE loads? Anyway fair play to him being able to live off being a poet and playwright. Not easy unless you are from a very privileged background.
> he’s never been invited back.
He’ll have to be content with the Arts Council funding basically everything he’s produced since.
God I fucking hate Ryan Tubberty. I wish nothing but bad things on that wet rag.
Love Emmet, everything he said here is spot on, as usual. “It wasn’t blokes in tracksuits who ruined the country, it was blokes in suits”. Varadkar is a weasel in fairness, he spearheaded that complete waste of money campaign and was openly against same sex marriage and adoption, all to ingratiate himself to the ultra Conservatives. Talk about selling your soul!
Thats nothing, 14 years ago they had Gerry Ryan hosting an episode. He’s never been invited back since.
Well tbf I’d imagine most people who appear on the show aren’t asked to come on again.
Also, he’s a poet, not Brad Pitt.
Tubs is part of it. Tubs is a cunt.
“Blokes in suits” that hits hard
Met him a few times. Nice dude.
For those saying it was not 10 years ago are forgetting that 2020 lasted for 7 years.
We did essays on his production “heartbreak” in transition year. Super interesting guy
I met Emmet today in town. Lovely bloke, really down to earth

I like this lad, he comes across well. Tubridy and Varadkar can jump in the sea though.
“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle., unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.”
-James Connolly
“It wasn’t blokes in tracksuits who ruined this country, it was blokes in suits.”
Amen.
And ~~not a single~~ only one of primary actors saw the inside of a prison cell for even a day.
I don’t know what a tracker mortgage is
People really got distracted by the bad title instead of the content of the video.
I hate this argument that because there are corrupt bankers then social security fraud is fine. Social security felaud is theft, simple as. It doesn’t matter if there are other people breaking other laws, that’s irrelevant.
I’m fairly centrist and I approve this rant.
