Maire Hoctor on Ireland's PrimeTime fails to read her pre-canned answer to questions about the scrapping of the National Carer's Strategy. Let's remember that this individual is paid in the region of €150,000 for her brilliance as a minister of state. And it's not the first time she's been unable to string two words together.

  • The hyperbole here is unbelievable. So she got a bit confused by a teleprompter? This one performance is enough to write her off entirely? I'm no FF fan, but you lot would drive any reasonable person straight into their arms. Calm down will ye?

  • She is government junior minister, why does she need to be reading from a teleprompter? Can't she give an answer herself?

  • Minister my fucking arse. She should be fucked out

  • As a constituent of hers this is hugely disturbing. She was voted through in two elections. Its a disgrace. There were actually credible candidates who dint get in because they were not Fianna Fáil

  • She's living proof of the type of inept rubbish that we elect , but she's not alone as you could say that about each & every one of the current Government. Clowen, Harney, Coughlan etc. they're all the same.150,000 EURO a year my backside!

  • How did you record this if it was not live? 'Dont worry its not live'.

  • You are completely wrong. Your disparaging mention of the union shows that you are in fact a fucking stooge and a dunce.

  • The fault here lies with RTE, who's studio staff are unionised and are accountable to no-one, and take no care or pride in their work as they know their cushy jobs are secure until they either die or retire. The minister is an easy target here but the real blame is with the incompetent staff within RTE studios.

  • This is known as an 'as-live pre-record'. These are done for convenience when people aren't available to be interviewed when the show is actually on air. Done correctly, it should slot in to the real live programme seamlessly, but someone took the wrong timings and failed to play the recording in the right spot. In other words they showed takes 1 and 2 instead of the successful take 3. It's perfectly normal for the interviewee to stop and start if it's being recorded. She was distracted also.

  • retard

  • I dont think this was live. Its just wasnt edited out.

  • ahes on tellly representing the government so she must speak on behalf of the party.
