Cllr Barry Nevin was interviewed on East Coast Radio‘s Morning Show today.

When my text “It shouldn’t be forgotten that Labours insistence on giving their public service union buddies pay rises via increments will cost twice as much as the household charge will raise” was put to Cllr Nevin he refused to answer.

At the end of the interview another texter raised the same issue, and during his bizarre response Cllr Nevin was asked by by the programme’s presenter, Declan Meehan, “is there a connection between labour party and public sector unions” he replied “No”.

Strangely Cllr Nevin’s profile page says he is “deeply involved in the Bray & District Council of Trade Unions.”

Relevant parts of interview can be heard here.

Apparently tomorrow Cllr Nevin will be discussing how the Earth is really at the centre of the Universe.
