    I feel there is a God after all, so delighted to hear Eamon Keane has gone, and gone for good. He was so false, as has been said here he had this mock horror about every story.

    If he turns up on R.T.E. I will go mad.

    R.T.E should'nt entertain him at all, one tabloid programme is enough i.e. Liveline

    Just listening to Jonathan Healy, there. He's certainly a very capable replacement for Keane. Very good radio voice and none of the unfunny facetious rubbish and over familiarity that Keane comes out with. Does anybody have any updates on what keane is doing?

    I was just thinking about this as well, Barname. Brian Lucey was on with Vincent Brown last nite and said that Eamonn Keane was a "very good broadcaster".. Him of course being another contributor to Keane's now defunct show. I wonder did they only come on the show cos they are friends of Keane or will they be on with Healy in the future? I wont miss O'Rourke anyway..

    I don't think that you will get to miss Mammy O'Rourke, sure she wasn't exclusive to Eamon's show - she features on plenty of other shows & stations.

    Healy for Keane and Dara O'Brien for Hook would be a big improvement.

    You wont miss mammy cause she will be on ever other station.I have to say I didn`t mind Eamon Keane , at least he was different. Not too many
    dissenting voices on radio at the moment.

    Johnathan Healy is doing a far more professional job.

    The windge type radio is a turn off.

    What solutions do Windge DJs come up with?

    Putting prefabs outside hospitals?

    I like Keano - Tom Dunne needs to go next - he is sooooooooooo boring, going on and on and on about Audrey and the kids. He has a rant for about 10 mins when he comes on in the morning to set the tone and it leaves me cold!

    maybe he's going to give the eurovision a shot?

    seriously though, he said he did a postgrad in guidance counselling. just when my opinion of him couldn't get much lower, i get to compare him to the clown we had in secondary school. at least we could have a laugh at the clown.

    Thats the problem. He couldnt get through the day without NAMA.

    Eamon Keane liked to parade as the intrepid journalist fighting the good fight but was nothing more than a celebrity wannabe. It is extraordinary how many 'vital' news stories he broke over the years - and how do we know? Because he constantly reminded us of it. He interviewed Enda Kenny a few months ago and asked him (in that 'ah sure we're all just pals here' tone that he liked to affect) what his plan for Ireland was. Enda answered "I want to harness the good will of the Irish people." And Keane just moved on to the next question. A fool being interviewed by an idiot.

    God, that video is unreal. "Yeah, we buried my best friend yesterday - hi to Jack and all of the gang!..." If Mark's father (presumably a Dub) taught Eamon piano, back in the day, does that not imply that Keane grew up in Dublin? If so, where did Eamon's Kerry accent come from?
    I couldn't make it to 6.30 - sorry...

    My thoughts exactly. Any news on where he might be surfacing again or is he going to go full-time with the music?

    Maybe he stayed in Ivor Callely's supposedly empty house?

    The guy who is filling in this week, Daragh Someone, better not be the full time replacement. Very poor interview technique for me.

    It is Daire O'Brien, who used present the Flip Side in the early days of NT - ironically a little bird tells me that me aul mucker Dec Carthy (who replaced O'Brien on that morning slot) was seen in Newstalk recently - a possible replacement for EK

    Is it definitely O'Brian?? God that means another slot on Newstalk I won't be listening to. From when Newstalk started to about about 18 months ago it was the only station I would listen to and never changed the dial. These days every second program makes me switch channel, I now listen to Morning Ireland instead of the breakfast show, anything or silence instead of Tom Dunne, If O'Brian is doing the lunchtime slot won't be listening to that, Will switch back over for Moncrieff and Hook and then switch back to RTE or another channel for the rest of the evening. :( It used to be so easy a few years not having to change the station :)
