    Presume she has been been told by some auld lad from FF in Kerry that she is a 'looker'. Other than that why does she keep on ripping the arse out of the poor in this country?

    Was talking to her one night in a bar in town, a nicer person you could not meet.:cool:

    I was also at a function in RTE some time ago at which she was a host/speaker. She has a terrific and very mischievous sense of humour.

    Oh god…..I think I’m in love with Ann Doyle.:o

    I think you'll find it's buckfast and cheap cider that does this to the poor.

    I siad it before and I'll say it again. I'd lick cherries of her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,556 ✭✭✭Nolanger


    You wouldn't if you saw her with no makeup on!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭ballsymchugh


    it's her neck that does it for ye isn't it?!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,169 ✭✭✭rednik


    Easily the best nesreader in RTE. Sharon should listen to Anne's delivery and learn from it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭pjtb


    She's useless. Can only read the script, and even doing that she seems robotic. Might as well use a speech machine in her place- it would be cheaper.

    Yeah. Improvisation is the bedrock of newsreading.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    she's good at what she does, better than most of the others anyway.

    Also her neck is sinking in so much its starting to look like a 2nd vag!


    (.... not quite nearly though)

    when you speak of robots , i presume you are refering to the charisma free zone that is sharon ni bheolian

    Anne Doyle IMO has no sense of what is history in the making.She could make the outbreak of WW3 sound unimportant.She gives a sense of I'm only reading this because it,s My job.

    It is not just her though,that attitude seems to permeate the entire RTE newsroom with one exception i.e Brian Dobson(He at least seems to know when to be dramatic,and for those who say news is NOT drama i would say how do 24/7 news channels survive?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭Parakeets


    Is there any truth to the rumour I heard that Anne was particularly popular amoung the gay community and if so - how does that work??

    For me the best and lovliest (I can't say sexiest as she is married), is the wonderful Siun Nic Gearailt. She dress fantastically, looks gorgeous and deliver the news great in a perfect accent. Is better possible.

    I agree! She just reads the script, quite boringly IMO, and if anything serious were to happen to that she'd be in big trouble. I'm not saying she shouldn't read the script, of course she has to, she can't make it up as she goes along. But there's very little if any spontaneity there- it seems like she doesn't know enough about what she's talking about to deliver it. When asking question off reporters she always sounds the same- raises the pitch of her voice at the beginning of her question, lowers it at the end, doesn't try very hard to actually look like she is engaging with it at all. Makes it very obvious that it wasn't her, but some editor in another room that framed the question. I'd much prefer Eileen Dunne, she manages to sound a bit more authorative/ up to date with what she's on about.

    I don't think Ní Bheoláin is that robotic, but she always gives me the impression that she's trying very hard to sound like she has researched the news topic, which she probably has. It's like she's trying to prove herself, especially since Dobbo is her co-anchor/ superior.

    pjtb Well said!!!!!

    There goes any hope You had of a career in D4 RTE!:D

    seriously though i agree with all you have said.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭pjtb


    Another thing that annoys me about her is the way she just stares straight ahead of her,into space, at the beginning of the news before she turns round to do her side camera piece before the main story. Most of the other presenters at least pretend they're doing something.... looking at the laptop, or notes for example. And she never seems to know whether to look at the screen, or the camera when asking questions off reporters- as can be seen very clearly with David Murphy and then David Davin Power here: http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0916/9news_av.html?2611381,null,230 . Another thing which annoys me is the way she drops t's at the end of words, like saying 'Good nigh', and 'how much a gamble is tha?'. I've nothing personal against her, just don't like her style of newsreading!

    EDIT: and I don't like the way she says '77 billions' !

    Well it wouldn't make me start watching TV3 news,but whatever floats your boat!;) At least it would remove her from RTE1... she could be replaced by someone like Aenghus MacGrianna :eek:!

    Hmmmm, so what's the issue here? She's a capable, controlled newsreader...

    Do we want her giggling her way through a house fire, or ripping her bra off during a piece on the economic meeting at Farmleigh?

    Actually, yes.. yes we do..
