Who's the most annoying RTE News Correspondent?

Miall108

Is it Plastic Sheeting(Pascal Sheehy), David Davin Power(Who always seems to be glued to the one spot at Leinster House) or that other Northern Ireland correspondent with the incredibly dreary voice

KungPao

Davin Power never blinks, seriously look next time.

The worst is this guy who does the politics stuff these days...something Murphy?...seems to try really hard to sound upper class. It grates.

Probably sleeps with his eyes open too like the reptile he is

BoJack Horseman

Gotta be Paschal for the fake voice he puts on like its some form of performance art.

Cos no one, anywhere, ever.... ever would chose to speak like that naturally.

Schwiiing

I feel bad for Joe Little. The Ecumenical Matters Man.

Only gets to report on paedos and babies in tanks.

Luckysasha

Most of the male presenters in fact. The accents are terrible especially that John kilrane. RTE news is really annoying much prefer TV3

TiGeR KiNgS

The weather 'girls' (term used v. loosely) are awful.

Sheep Lover

Ciaran Maalllooohhy reporting from Mullinnggaarr.....

fxotoole

Gotta be Aongus Mac Grianna.

Amazing the way RTE never have a working class Dublin lad or lass reading the news. No sign of many non nationals either. You'd swear it was a closed shop or something.

Sunnyisland

Don't know who is the most annoying, but the best was Michael Murphy I thought.

Talib Fiasco

Although she's a grand thing to stare at while learning about war in the middle east, Sharon ni Bheolains voice and tone goes right through me. The girl is constantly in need of a strepsil

TiGeR KiNgS

Whats the difference between Fox News and RTE ?

Ding Dong Denny was given the news anchor role ahead of the Dobson fella. Due to an accident involving 45 pints of Guinness, a female Garda who wasn't a stripper and a pitchfork he didn't make it in on day one.

Muahahaha

Plastic Sheeting defintely gets my vote. Brendan Wright from BELL-FAST always seems to grip the microphone so strongly in his hands that he is paranoid some teenagers will swipe it from him mid sentence.

Philip Bromwell also grates, his voice overs are so laboured and contrived. Not only that, by the reports he is given it seems like he is the butt of all jokes in the newsroom. I get the feeling that if an editor is looking for a reporter to cover a story on a cat stuck up a tree then the entire newsroom justs says 'thats one for Bromwell, send him'. He always seems to get landed with the dross stories.

Aengus Mac Grianna is a terrible news reader. Like, really bad. He's constantly stumbling over his words and making mistakes.

The fact that we might want to understand them when they speak probably has something to do with it.

Most of the sports reporters on RTE News are appallingly lazy speakers, who can't even be arsed learning how to pronounce 'Jose Mourinho' correctly.

There was a running joke on oliver callans sketch show about her being a robot, referring to her speech

As opposed to sending in his reports while lightly jogging around the Dail?

Cee-Jay-Cee

Yer man Eileen Magnier is hard to listen to.

Marty Morrissey scares me.

Favourite is ciaran mulooly, strikes me as a decent guy without a laboured rte news readers accent. Brendan Wright probably my most annoying since he seems to love the misery of his northern stories!

Adamantium

Business correspondent, I can't think of her name. Always and only talking about SIPTU and trade union deals.

Feels a like a secondary school business class/teacher on cocaine.
Most. boring. job. ever.

LordSutch

Brian Dowling, Ciaran Malooley.

With Sharon Ni Bheolain as the most annoying & amaturish TV News presenter.

Yeh you can hear the sadistic passion in his voice especially when hes reporting on a shooting or death

Vomit

I don't really watch TV but have it on in the background sometimes and I could have sworn I heard one of them sign off as, "Hulk Hogan, RTE News, Dublin".

Id say Aonghus has to be. He literally cannot improvise. At all.

He spoke to some Coastguard lad live last night, and the man took him off his pre-prepared questions by expanding on some other points. Aonghus just spluttered and stuttered some nonsense before saying "thats grand" and letting him go.

I half expected another frozen in the headlights moment followed a painfully long time later by............................."What?"

Its not good readers you need as such, its people with charisma and a bit of cop on.

Theres nothing more cringey than a sportsguy handover on an RTE bulletin

Dobbo:"Looks a tough task player X has there eh Joe?"

Joe "Eh, yes Brian. Thanks Brian."

There 2 IMO. Pascal Sheehy has a really dreary voice that makes me not listen to anything he says. There's also that correspondent that reports on places around athlone (not sure if it is David Davinpower.)

It really annoys me the way they all say 'Are T E'. This is Ireland, it's 'Oar T E'!

Pat McGrath looks like a Pat Shortt character.
