Abusive emails are wrong!! But trying to evade serious questions by Vincent Browne was childish,she wanted to push him aside because he was asking important but direct questions!!!! Good man v/b..

I found her patronising tone to Vin B ,who was trying to ask questions on behalf of Ireland, equally unacceptable. As an Irish citizen she should be ashamed of herself. Whilst I would not condone threatening or abusive messages, I do believe this woman should take a good long hard look at herself in the mirror before she calls any other Irish persons thoughts or remarks “abusive”.

While I don’t agree with people sending abusive emails, they are easily deleted. However, financially terrorising a country for decades to come won’t be as easy to remove.

We still haven’t got an answer to the question.
Answer the question and they’ll stop.

I don’t condone abusive e-mail but she would do well to remember she’s an Irishwoman first and an EU lackey second.

Vincent Browne a national treasure , asking the questions of our Troika oppressors our meek politicians too terrified to ask

Good man VB, you are one of a very rare breed of tenacious journalist left in Ireland.

The PC pussycat brigade have taken over and the day of a hard and persistant interview seem to be disappearing

It seems Nolan is of the belief that abusive emails directed at her are of much more importance than the abuse of the Irish people by the ECB/EU/IMF! And it seems she has a remedy for these emails but is not concerned that the Irish people have no remedy WHATSOEVER in tackling the continuing abuse of Ireland by the ECB/EU/IMF!

Could of or more likely being a PR stunt but Great at least someone stood up and talked about the big pink elephant in the room.Nearly every other journalist(RTE) wont have the balls to because of their 6 figure salary.Great thanks Vincent for taking the words out of my mouth would of said the same if I could of asked a question.Tenner bets that Vincent Browne wont be allowed anywhere near the next EU/IMF press conference.

Another distraction from the fact that they wouldn’t give a straight answer to a straight question. I’m sure she lost no sleep over a few poxy emails.

While I don’t agree with the angry emails (though have we any proof how many, the content etc. of those sent) she can think again, if she reckons anyone will have any serious sympathy for her.

I think the fact the question wasn’t answered says a lot more than any spin of an answer they could have given. If you weren’t convinced previously of how much we’re being bent over then you should now.

We are entitled to an answer I think most would agree. Even if it wasn’t one we wanted to hear.

And kudos to Vinnie B, he’s not always easy to watch but at least he does hit the nail on the head far more than anyone from RTE-land

While sending abusive messages to someone is not right, watching VB the other night made me laugh out loud. He has to be without doubt one of the greatest commentators that has ever graced Irish tv and radio, he calls it as he sees it, no bullsh*t…..

She got called out by Vincent Browne and now is licking her wounds. If you consort with wolves expect to get a few bites. Boo hoo. She is a collaborator without an ounce of patriotism.

I emailed Barbara Nolan – and I stand over everything I said – if she thinks that abuse then tough luck on her. Email in full:

Dear Barbara Nolan

I was disgusted by your attempts to silence Vincent Browne recently who was merely respresenting the views of the majority of people in his line of questioning.
As an Irish citizen your behaviour was traitorous and if the law permitted it I would have you charged and punished accordingly.

Similarly to Judas Iscariot you have sold your soul for 30 pieces of deutsche mark. Shame on you.

Yours
Rob Mahony

Next time, perhaps she will deign to climb down off her EU high horse, and explain why our cash is being spent on a zombie bank?

Broadsheet cannot be blamed just because their readers are familiar with the Internet. She should be aware her details are freely available on the eu website and it encourages us, to meet “the team”. It doesn’t say if they are our team or are our opponents.. ;)
http://ec.europa.eu/ireland/about_us/meet_the_team/index1_en.htm

I said it before and I’ll say it again. The EU is an anti-democratic institution. The sole aim of this vile organisation is to enrich the wealthy and the citizens of the Franco-German axis and to impoverish the periphery of the EU. All Barbara Nolan did in that interview is to confirm the opinions of Eurosceptics and turn many others against the EU. Those in charge of the EU would prefer to see the elderly and the sick die simply to line their own pockets and those of their friends. They dodge questions such as those by Vincent Browne because they know they are destroying lives but don’t want to admit it. If what they were doing was the right thing to do they would not be dodging questions and giving vague answers. STOP TAKING OUR MONEY AND LYING TO US.

Oh, poor parasite. Let’s pass a law where no parasite can ever be offended!

i think she thinks she was there to protect them like the CIA protect Obama, watch her in the interview, all she was missing was dark glasses

She should be sent her P45, not abusive emails.She was certainly out of order but then all these EU hangers-on are.

I am amazed that the main parties are sending lobby fodder in to debate with Vincent.
Last week 2 fine Gael and a labour person were sent back to the pavilion 1st ball without having troubled the scorer.
I was amazed at how silent the room went when vincent got stuck in.
The king had no clothes and every body knew it.The EU political commissar lady was caught flat footed but trying to pads over the question will not make it go away and it will be asked louder and more often from now on

So she wants to take legal action? OMG!….she is in the public eye but doesn’t want to hear complaints or shell take you to court! What a ficked up system we live in

Barbra Nolan was a total weasel during this exchange with Vincent Browne. She should be ashamed.

My heart bleeds

She have been sent her P45,not abusive emails. She was certainly out of order

Leave the journalist do his job Babs!

i sent her a little email myself , just to let her know of my DISGUST at her behaviour as an irish woman – shame on you Barbara

Vincent Browne is the man,!!! if he ever decides to organise a military coup and kick out all the rouges and robbers in Ireland whether they be politicians priests or bankers me and my band of trustworthy, fearless and fed up to our teeth with all the lies and deciet followers will be in the front line with him and give Ireland what it deserves!!!!!!!!!!!Cmon lads lets sort this out for once and for all

The word “legend” is misused a lot, but Vincent is a Legend.

Big fucking boo hoo, she’s just another EU lackey, a nobody.

DEAL WITH IT!!!

@ Michael C From the sounds of things, your not shy about rambling on yourself. From what I’ve seen of V.B, he asks serious ?s. Though he rarely seems to get an answer from politicians.

have little time for people stupid enough to send abusive or profane messages to this lady, I would encourage however civil messages of objection to the way she fobbed off Vincent Browne’s questioning. she should have kept her gob shut and let Claus wallow in his inability to answer the question that is on the minds of every irish person

Martin Dorgan, if your’e on the hunt for self seekers I suggest you google “Barbara Nolan” who was unheard of until this week. This is surprising as she heads up The European Commission Representation in Ireland with responsibility for:

Communicating
Providing information on European affairs both to the media and to the general public. The Press Office keeps national and local media up to date with developments in Brussels and is an important contact point for journalists.
Providing the general public with free access to information about the Commission and the European Union in its public information centre at 18 Dawson Street, Dublin 2, through publications, updated eurobarometer, internet points, multimedia facilities and educational visits. Information officers are on hand to deal with specific queries. The Representation has also established a panel of experts – Team Europe – available to speak at conferences and seminars throughout the country.
Providing a Eurojus Consultant (solicitor: Siobhan Duffy) who is available to give advice and information on citizens’ rights in the European Union.
Distributing a weekly electronic newsletter with news of recent developments at EU level and an agenda of upcoming events.
Going Local
Supporting a countrywide network of EU information providers in local libraries, business information centres and universities.
Listening
Gathering information and keeping the Commission in Brussels informed of various political, social and economic developments in Ireland. As part of its expanding listening function, the Representation will conduct public consultations on various ideas the Commission is developing. It wants to ensure that citizens’ voices are heard in the corridors of power in Brussels

Perhaps if she stayed away from Financial issues and stuck to her day job…. supporting, listening.

I’ve absolutely no sympathy for her (she is after all only an overpaid PR lackey… as for her gender and nationality neither are a bar in the systematic rape of Ireland by ‘good’ irish europeans). If this press conference is to be remembered for anything it should be the reaction of the one the question was aimed at. His facial expression/body language and avoidance of the question revealed he knew the validity of said question, knew the correct answer to that question, but was stumped because he couldn’t ad lib the big ‘LIE’! That was when Nolan stepped in. The sheepish, hand caught in the cookie jar attitude (brought on by VB’s persistence) made me laugh out loud satisfied with the knowledge the spokespeople for the troika are merely bagman for a wider agenda of international theft.

I’m going to go against the tide and say abusive emails are abusive emails are abusive emails.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to bring your greivance to a representative. Forget name-calling & vitriol, they either get (rightly) ignored, or worse, they’re responded to in kind. It’s a case of “I think what you did was wrong because *X,Y,Z*”

Play the ball, not the (wo)man.

The Übermensch can do all of that…

Fair play to her – I’d love a chance to shut Vincent Browne up. His voice really grates and if anyone disagrees with him and starts to win an argument he changes the subject (takes the ball and goes home).

Cue a load of misogynistic, nationalist garbage below…

Vincent seems to think that Ireland shouldn’t pay for money borrowed and guaranteed by our government. We are like terrorists – snatch and grab everything that is going and to hell with the consequences. I am not surprised as Bertie and his pals would not know how to be honest and responsible in a million years.
