1. This is getting silly now.

2. Is there nothing else happening in Dublin culture wise that these vintners could bring attention to?

3. Have we run out of sport to show in pubs now?

4. I’d guess it will be fairly tame but hey pints would make it maybe more interesting. Down your drink when questions aren’t answered

5. Would I rather watch this or The Ashes? It’s tough. I think on balance I’d prefer to stare at the wall

6. We all know they’re gonna go easy on Ryan anyway. “Sure look, the toy show was great 🤓”

7. Tbf, on a Tuesday afternoon there’d be fuck all else to put on. There’s gonna be at least one lad raging they’re not showing Murder She Wrote though

8. Turning it in to a big media circus, parading tubridy in front of the cameras and having TDs pontificate at him achieves nothing and takes away from the real problems.

   I’d far rather see them get grilled by well briefed experts than some independent TD just looking for headlines

9. They missed the boat – you needed to do this with the muppets from the board and management. *That* was entertaining. With these two you’re just going to get professionally rehearsed non-answers to everything.

   They’re each appearing with a solicitor sitting beside them.
