these idiots are beyond me,
Westside.
I find it very hard to believe Gerry Ryan died broke, I mean is radio show was as healthy and going strong and I also heard he had just got the go ahead to present his on TV chat show on RTE on a Saturday night. Gerry’s career was far from over, those other guys days were numbered.
I also just wanna say even though I never listened to his radio show that often but when I did I thought he was fantastic. Fair play to the man just like Gay Byrne before him he brought a lot of issues that where kept in the closet by Irish society and broke a lot of taboos.
R.I.P. Gerry, you seemed like a good man.
Aparrently he didnt understand money, or so his friends have said.Always splashing out on expensive gear like food cigars and booze, which unfortunatly probably took its tool on his heart
I agree there with you John , He did talk a lot of issues that were Taboo. Himself and Gay were fantastic Broadcasters, Shame about Kenny and Tubs
RIP Gerry, you will be missed.
Gay Byrne a terrific broadcaster?
Now if there was ever a man who deserved the prize for Ireland's biggest arsehole he'd forever be number one. Anyone who claims Gerry Ryan and Gay Byrne are 'terrific broadcasters' clearly hasn't ever tuned into a quality radio or television channel.
There is a reason RTE presenters never get jobs abroad, they're shite and only the Irish would tolerate them.
Gay Byrne is, and always will be, an imbecile.
I'm saying this now before he dies and you all accuse me of being a hypocrite.
I'm currently in nicotine meltdown.

I also hate Gay Byrne and his mannerisms and everything about him. I hate those little voices he puts on as if he were talking to a baby or something.
I hate it even more when other people try to imitate him by putting on the same stupid voices and that's meant to be so hilarious..... and I can safely say that even if I was a baby or toddler I would still hate it.

Thank you, I appreciate your reply and yes, Wogan did get hired by RTE over twenty years ago due to the fact he was a reasonably entertaining fellow. He kept his opinions to himself, was very tactful and appealed to a wide range of people and interests.
Now before you go telling me that Craig Doyle is another lets bare in mind he is now back in RTE. It probably has something to do with his colossal ego and arrogance. Fits it well.
Scuppards? don't you mean scuppers? Are you a fan of Gay Byrne by any chance?
Right that's it, i'm going to buy 40 fags and sit in.
An innocent typo there Mr M. But the fact remains that RTE personal have infact been hired but foreign stations. Yes Craig Doyle was another but the less said about him the better.
Go ahead smoke your brains out, Ill even join you for a few
