Topic: The Cult of Celebrity

Panellists: Louis Walsh, Glenda Gilson, Terry Prone, Michael O'Doherty and Medb Ruane.

There are no celebrities in Ireland, only grossly overpaid wafflers with big egos who crave adulation and fame as long as its ''business hours only''. Let them get a grip!

How can the Government justify the building of new courthouses, when prisons are over packed? If anything would it not make sense to build new prisons?

Topic: Case studies on the experiences of people in social care
 
Guests: Emily Logan (Ombudsman for Children); Michael O’Regan (Irish Times), preview of tomorrow's papers

Vincent: I'm sick and tired of listening to people blaming the HSE or anyone else. Where were the aunts and uncles of your case study at the time her mother died? Why didn't they take care of her.

What about all those on social welfare and single mothers left this week without their money. Something about a form for residency, which it appears they never received to fill in. Perhaps government attempting to delay payment same day our ministers etc. going on 3 months holidays. Anyone spare a thought for young children tonight without food or light. Shameful.
