EAMON DUNPHY COMES close to tears in a special Christmas programme being aired by TV3 this week.
The outspoken football pundit and journalist becomes teary-eyed as he discusses the homeless crisis on Ivan’s Celebrity Pub Crawl, which airs tomorrow night.
In the programme broadcaster Ivan Yates hits some of Dublin’s most high-profile pubs to review the year that was and look ahead to 2016. Rugby star Stephen Ferris and author Francis Brennan are among those taking part.
Asked by Yates for his one wish for 2016 Dunphy, who appears alongside musician Eleanor McEvoy, says he’d like people who are homeless to be housed.
I’d like them to be housed because it’s possible, if we put our mind to it, that all the people who suffered this year, at this time, were given a break.
Ivan’s Celebrity Pub Crawl airs tomorrow night at 9pm on TV3

GET VACCINATED!
@Sean O’Dhubhghaill: Seriously get a life
@Ger Whelan: you don’t think it’s good advice?
@SYaxJ2Ts: it’s not advice. It’s a man on the internet using caps lock thinking it’ll make people will listen to his rant.
@Ger Whelan: yet here you are. Again
@SYaxJ2Ts: As are you. How many people do you think will see Sean’s little rant as suddenly they wow let’s listen to that stranger on the internet and will run out and get the vaccines?. The Vaccines the vast majority have already received when they were toddlers and in primary school. How many times do we need the same vaccine?
@Ger Whelan: yes I understand this. But this is a comment section, so why not use it to vent frustration in his plea? At least it’s not misinformation
@SYaxJ2Ts: He can vent his frustration wherever he likes whether that is on here or in the middle of O’Connell street I’ll still tell him to get a life.
@Ger Whelan: I find it interesting that RFK Jnr. was raising so much alarm about a sudden rise in autism diagnoses from a specific year, when the clinical criteria for the diagnosing autism was expanded from that specific year. What is causing so much harm is people like RFK Jnr. either ignoring, or being ignorant of, important and easily checkable information like that. Instead of being able to apply himself to do some really basic research, he instead started spouting on about vaccines causing a rapid and alarming spike in autism…..which makes him either a cynical opportunist exploiting public fear, or just someone who can’t do fundamental adult things like thinking coherently.
@Numinous20111:I got as far as RFK and stopped reading. Couldn’t care less about the head case.
It’s no surprise considering peoples immune systems have been compromised…its why we are having record excess deaths and levels of sickness in this country….media and government don’t want to know tho.
@Dere: It’s because vaccination rates for measles have dropped off compared to what they were before the pandemic……. You’re right Re the immune systems though, was just at the GP and they said they’re loads of stuff going around that you wouldn’t usually see this time of year!
@Dere: How and why have people’s immune systems been compromised? Be specific.
MMR vaccinations, BCG etc are all very important vaccinations and should be availed of by all. These are serious illnesses that can result in infertility and other negative outcomes.
Rather than blaming misinformation in your latest “debunked gotcha” article, maybe it is time to admit that the covid vaccine was unnecessary for the vast majority of society, who were no more in danger than they were from the common cold.
The forced vaccination to take part in society here (cinemas, restaurants, etc), fed the conspiracy theorists and has damaged all vaccination programmes.
@James Groden: You make a good point until you fell into the “conspiracy theorists” label trap, Right think people questioned the wisdom and group think the World Health Origination was imposing, while pushing a un tested injection with then unknow side effects. All the Best.
Why is allways bad news on here
@Square: In other words, 4,999,919 people don’t have measles
@Square: The ever expanding hermeneutical cycle of information needs food to eat. More money in misery.
