I certainly would not be in favour of that. The term "youse" does not refer to me. The Deputy can take that as a fact.
The programmes on television and radio are fine. However, the usual guests are rolled out on the Friday gathering segment on "Today with Sean O’Rourke" and on Marian Finucane's show. Guests from outside urban areas do not get much of an opportunity to speak on these shows. I can see the work of PR companies saying that X would be wonderful and would contribute greatly on the Friday gathering with Sean O'Rourke. Forget about anyone from outside of Dublin getting a look in on these shows. That is the Dublin-based, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 mentality.
