When they moved on Mary Wilson I cheered. When I heard that they were bringing in Sarah McInerney, I cheered as she had seemed very competent in her short stint in succession to Sean O'Rourke. However, the current content and format has driven me to Newstalk from 5.00 pm onwards.

If I want social media content (I rarely do except on Babbling), I can find it. For early evening I want hard information and reasonable debate about the current issues of the day. Really bad decision by RTE and advertisers should be aware there are many like me - real-world consumers who vote by shifting the dial immediately.

Can we add people who park across two or more spaces to this?

Well if you have a big SUV then using 2 spaces is OK right? I don't want some Micra driving moron putting a dint in my new ride.
3 spaces is too much though, I agree.

Especially near the RDS on match day when I'm trying to find a spot to park in.

This is all fine if you use the magic triangle button that means you can do anything right?

Absolutely, them and double yellowers too. I think curb mounters/path blockers need to be in there too. Driveway obstruction is another bugbear
