    Anyone listening to Drivetime today?
    I could not get over the number of breaks. They were very short but it must have been a record number.

    Moved to a new thread rather then one from 2007

    Yes. Like him when he does political commentary on RTE TV but don't think he suits Drivetime.

    No the accent is way too strong, and the grammar is ,well,dodgy, to say the least.

    Good reporter though,if you can put the other stuff out of the way.

    Like the lad,myself.

    I do too - but a good reporter does not necessarily make a good presenter. The normal presenter of Drivetime, Marie Wilson, should have shown RTE that.

    I heard the finish of the programme yesterday and it was a bit chaotic, but I put that down to him trying to get used to the job.

    Good point there, Brian is top class.
