Geri Maye being interviewed on Today on RTE One tv now.

I met Bibi Baskin at an event a couple of years ago. I believe she runs a small hotel in India.

Shauna Lowry..... Many fond memories of her.
According to Wikipedia "She is currently a presenter on Thomas Cook TV."

The lad with the ponytail from Limerick who used to present that fashion show that pre-dated Off The Rails.

Maxi is the one I always wondered about - I know she reappeared every Christmas Day or so, and recently retired - but having been a mainstay of early morning/late night radio for years and years she disappeared abruptly for a long time.

Having done a bit of googling, I think you might be right

I'll amend my post above - sorry again, Pat, if you're reading this - I have no idea who I was thinking of!

Lord Lucan was a regular on Spitting Image.

Don't really think Lord Lucan could be regarded as Irish,even if he did own an estate in Mayo or somewhere.

Anyway,some more examples.

That chef with the funny looking Abraham Lincoln type beard who used to be kind of high profile in the 80s,can't think of his name.Think he went bankrupt and more or less disappeared off the scene then.

Eileen Reid from The Cadets showband.She became a bit of a Jesus freak and used to be on a lot of TV debates about religion.

That young lad who played the lead in The Butcher Boy.Last thing I think I saw him in was The Big Bow Wow.

Still see him around cos I live in Wicklow. Drive past his gaff often enough.

Now I can't remember yer man's name but a chap who always wore a hat and did a programme on rte where he went round interviewing the average Joe about stuff. If it comes to me I'll edit.

G Kean and partner Blondie would rate as possibly the most annoying couple I have ever had the misfortune to have to listen to ........
