    Seriously, how does she get gigs in RTE? The only reason must be because of her aul lad's connection with RTE.

    I'm sick of this crap - there are far more talented youngsters who could do this job a lot better than her.

    Not to mention she speaks through her nose like a poxy posh wannabe.

    Why oh why is she on the tele?

    Stage a drunken protest outside RTE.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 783 ✭✭✭No1J


    Couldn't agree more, very annoying young lady, everything bad about that Celtic Tiger rich kid American twang Doart accent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭tonycascarino


    She's on the TV because she is Gerry Ryan's daughter. No other reason. RTE like to keep things in the family.

    Well, she spent some time inside the testicles of a leading Irish broadcaster.

    The Daily Show. She appears to act as some sort of showbiz consultant. C-nt.
    And yes, I know it's my own fault for watching it:P

    Does it not give you a warm fuzzy feeling that RTE use your licence fee to pay the likes of Joe Duffy and the Plank more money then Obama:P:(

    Wonder if she's banging on the coke like her Da?

    Ah yes another one of the NK Management army of media whores.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    Burn that ****hole to the ground and build a company that recognises talent more then bloodlines/political connections.

    People should stop paying their licence until they sort it out.. right now you have people struggling to put food on their table while bankrolling the D4 crowd. disgrace.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,455 ✭✭✭✭Monty Burnz

    I'm sure if she is, all of her colleagues and friends will be suitably astonished by the news when the public finds out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,969 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    She interned and trained in New York on the Golden Globe award winning set of ‘The Good Wife’ starring Juliana Margulies

    That's an excellent show, good to have on the CV

    Maybe her CV and background is good enough?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    It's how the world works. I'm pretty sure you will be doing favours for your friends and their kids and what not if it came to it. Same crap different industry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    Does anyone know, aside from an RTE relative, what is her previous experience /qualifications ?

    I know of a lot more talented youngsters with a lot more on their CVs and they get nowhere, not a sniff, near RTE.

    The plain and simple thing is - she's only there because of her father.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭fran oconnor


    As crap ad she is, I'd smash her back doors in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    She can say words though...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,661 ✭✭✭Fuhrer


    Lottie Ryan is a really stupid name


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,172 ✭✭✭Ghost Buster

    I know she's Ryan's daughter but I don't know what gigs she gets.

    Sometimes it is hard to adequately define cronyism in celebrity terms. It's not a simple as, say, somebody with no qualifications walking into their daddy's bank.

    Fact is that a lot of people - for some utterly unfathomable reason - liked her da and probably would be interested in seeing her in the media because of that so that makes her employable in a weird way.

    Kinda like saying Bertie's daughter sells loads of her "books" because of who she is: maybe it's true but the books do sell so she will get signed up.

    For the last 3 years of secondary school and for each year while I was in college (apart from final year) I had a summer and part time job with the company my father works for. Yes, he got me the job. And if I didnt have that job I cant see how I would have funded my way through college. So is there a difference between mine and Lottie Ryan's situations? She got offered a job. She took. What's the big deal? I doubt too many here would have turned it down if they were in her situation.

    To be fair thats a private company and you Dad can do as he pleases.

    This is a state broadcaster, funded by the public, it should not be a closed shop for families.

    Not everyone is ok with cronyism, specially if it is at the expense of more qualified candidates. Also Rte is taxpayer funded.

    which explains why that little pr*ck Donal Skehan is on our national TV:mad:

    I'd give her a ding after a few pints of stout. What age is she?

    Probably got those those questions in the wrong order.
