Clare Byrne

But I understand that Paul Cleary, the Deputy Commissioner...

The charge of governance and stuff was on Clare Byrne on Newstalk.

So when this is done, I'm going to listen back to that.

So maybe people could listen to that.

It's exciting for sure, but there is a disappointment that the price point is so high.

As I said to Clare Byrne during the week, you know, I remember when I was a teenager, really, really, really wanting an iPod.

but obviously they were bananas expensive at the time and therefore you only saw the iPods in the hands of people who could obviously afford them and I think this disparity between the tech haves and the tech have nots is going to grow particularly as prices naturally increase over the next few while as well but with Apple putting a price tag like that on a foldable oh I don't know I couldn't justify it.

But as I say, I want to hear from you, techtalkatnewstalk.com. We might come back to that a little bit later in the show.

He left my mum and dad stranded in Blanchardstown.

Yeah, just one particular listener detailing their clamping story to our reporter Barry White and Clare Byrne earlier this morning.

Over 212,000 motorists had their cars clamped in Dublin between 2024 and 2025.

According to figures obtained by Newstalk, we want to hear your clamping experiences on the show today.

ego at the end of the day.

Clare, I think it's very special that you're talking about the ego now, in the sense that you don't think it's true or false, but that he was looking for a solution.

And he was looking for a way to solve that problem, to point out to the people, okay, maybe you can do it, maybe you can't do it, but you have to do it.

But he was strong, he was strong.

So that's the trade, OK? Because...

I'd like to ask you all, the people who are watching this right now, and if you're watching this as a member of the Eibh Lóid community, and if you're looking for ratings and ratings and things like that, if you're watching this on social media, there are hot takes.

But that will have to do with Corsair's relationship with Clare now.

We'll just have to wait and

you know, all that kind of thing.

I remember my uncle saying to me, you know, you need to get them on Sheila Shoig and Clare Byrne and you know, they had these kind of TV personalities almost and there was only so many weddings Sheila Shoig was going to or Clare Byrne was, you know, going to the ladies day or whatever and then The easiest and cheapest way almost to promote my hats was for me to wear them myself.

You're your own best model.

You knew how to wear them.

As I've been on with you before, I was saying that I have a disability, I walk with crutches, so just getting on and off buses is quite difficult, and if you add in animals into that equation, it can be just a bit of a nightmare.

I was listening to Clare Byrne earlier, and Yeah, when she was explaining about the rules of having the animals on public transport, she was saying like, you know, they can even be in the aisles once they're kind of controlled by their owners.

But I mean, that's going to really restrict people like myself or, you know, even a pram or, you know, toddlers or people with sensory issues.

I just feel like it's going to cause an awful lot of unnecessary problems for passengers.

I'm just giving you my opinion.

And do you know what? And I'll tell you this far more aggressive questioning on Morning Ireland or the Pat Kenny show or Clare Byrne show.

No one says anything.

But God forbid a local journalist would start actually trying to hold people to account.
