Description
This is a collection of the best Monday Rants from "Lunchtime with Eamon Keane", ranging from the quirky to the serious. "Lunctime with Eamon Keane" has built itself a good audience since its inception, gaining a reputation for fast paced news and hard hitting interviews. It is also the home of the Monday Rant. Every Monday, just after 1.30 pm, a commentator on the show gets something off their chest that really irritates them. From murder rates to marmalade, nothing's off limits in this cathartic stream of consciousness that fires up guests and listeners.From "Cheese (Sliced or Grated)" to "Christmas (How it's not green)", "The Rossport Five (Shell's Greed?)" and "Integration (Do they contribute?)", Rants brings small and big worries to life in the words of knowledgble and entertaining commentators.Previous ranter include: Richard Boyd Barrett, Frank Connolly, Nell McCafferty, John Downing, Pat Finnegan, Ali Salim, Mary Raftery, John O'Shea, Dr Michael Corry, Damien Peelo, Christine Dwyer Hickey, Dan White, Fergus Finlay, Con Conor (Druid), Declan Cashin, Eoin Butler, John Moynes, Victoria White, Trevor White, Kathy Foley, Michael O'Regan and Chinedu Onyejelem.
