FORMER JUSTICE MINISTER Alan Shatter is to appear alongside Ryan Tubridy on tomorrow’s Late Late Show, RTÉ has confirmed.
The appearance could make for uncomfortable viewing for his former ministerial colleagues — not to mention the Commissioners of GSOC, who were the subject of a blistering attack from the Fine Gael TD in the Dáil last week.
The penalty points affair and the various ‘Gardagate’ controversies of the first half of the year will most likely be the main focus of the interview. Though, this being the Late Late (rather than Prime Time), Shatter’s fleeting career as a novelist may also come up.
So… Let’s sort our Friday night entertainment right now…

All for it, isn’t in amazing how quick they can draft up a bill for primary legislation but can’t draft up a bill for other issues in the country which need to be addressed just as urgently

Just ban them 100%
@Trump23: and create a lucrative black market, because prohibition is soooooo successful
The war war on vapes will go like the war on drugs, a monumental failure
@Arthur Brophy: Not a good enough reason not to ban them
@Arthur Brophy: 100% agree with the war on drugs being a complete failure but as long as they keep vapes regulated and legal for adults the black market won’t thrive. they shud legalise and regulate drugs for adults too..
i see donnelly concerned with the health risks. when is he going to tax fast food and junk food for obese people?
@Niall English: and Netflix!!! Sitting down to watch a good movie of a winters night…. should be banned
All the laws in the world are useless if they are not enforced. O’Connell Street, scroats selling heroin whilst Gardai look on!
This is really unfair on kids addicted to nicotine. Imagine them trying to enjoy Disney on Ice while they’re gummin for a vape. It’s a great way of get them to tuck into fruit too with all the strawberry and watermelon options. This will end up like the pubs except it’ll be the kids who opt to stay at home where they can vape in peace, and at a reasonable price too.
Bring in a law that requires a prescription from your doctor before you can buy vapes
I hear joe dolan from the hale shop just let specialist shops sell them his shops are the 1s selling them to kids
