    I'm going to go out on a limb here, but as an early morning presenter, she is decent.

    She gets a lot of ****e here, people going full on for her in (how she generates so much hate, I don't know), but at 6.15 in the morning as you are heading in to work, you want a happy, upbeat presenter who radiates positivity no matter what the weather is.

    Music is fine; safe and simple, and usually upbeat. Exactly what you want at that time of day.

    She's loud and annoying, the female Fergal D'arcy imho - she's all over the valentines late late show ad - wanna bet she'll be on it , boring the public to death about getting engaged

    A voice that would shatter crystal, tries too hard to be " cool" and " edgy". Also hasn't a clue about the music she plays bar chart stuff.

    not many presenters havent a clue about the music they play...very easy to name drop artists and press computer buttons!

    i get the idea from today fm especially, they seem to find whats on Joe/Her.ie or the sort , then for example Lady Gaga pops up, lets play a song and they pass off as knowing about the music

    How long is she engaged? all she ever talked about for what seemed like forever, was that she was on tinder, now it's all about her engagement and her boyfriend, and that's only the slot she does on celebrity gossip

    For the first time in ages I heard her this morning doing the Entertainment slot on the Breakfast Show. How on earth is this girl on national radio? She is absolutely dreadful. She comes across as a total airhead. She has no knowledge whatsoever of music and cannot even pronounce words that have more than 2 syllables.

    Wouldn't it have been a PR dream if she had landed the lunchtime slot the same week she got engaged!?

    I'll admit to liking her too.

    I think she does a decent enough job being 'perky' at God-awful-o'clock.

    Always nice to hear someone happy in their work.

    I like Paula as others have said it's nice to have a cheerful voice that time of the morning. In fairness today fm have actually been lucky with early breakfast slot. I mean Am Kelly, Louise Duffy, terresane o Reilly( who I taught was excellent) and now Paula.
