    I heard mention of that today. It seems the RTE early retirement/rendundancy and cost cutting measures are starting to kick in.
    Eamonn Lawlor is retiring this week and some production staff are going as well from what I could gather from listening today.

    Eamonn is a fine broadcaster and a great host for the live symphony concerts on a Friday night. I'll miss him.
    No sign of Marty W or John Kelly being shifted alas.
    You'd imagine those salaries are probably the highest and would represent a good saving and actually improve the quality of the service.

    So Marty will be upgraded to Eamonn Lawlor's spot at 8 in the evening. In tempo will run 7am to 10 am, Nial Carroll 10am to 2pm, with Kelly and Liz to follow?????????? Or should we fear the worst.

    So the worthy ones are shuffled up the ladder and Marty stays where he is. It sort of proves us naysayers correct. Maybe the quality compass at Lyric has been rediscovered and more changes will follow..:cool:

    I had a brief listen to Nial today. He seem pretty calm and intelligible, a worthy replacement for Paul. Generally I try to listen to Lyric in the morning and if it weren't for the daily dose of sanity starting at ten I'd probably have blood on my hands.:(

    The Kelly Ansamble was the answer to a question nobody asked.
