    Won't miss Ivan, absolute wind bag.

    But that's Ivan's appeal, he's a pure wind up merchant. I like him.

    An absolute massive waste of time, no matter what he's been involved in.

    Simply astonishing he managed to wangle his way into broadcasting in any form.

    Is he good mates with Denis O'Brien I wonder?

    You’d wonder how they decided this. I’ve never hears her on anything current affairs & she’s quite annoying on those morning shows, always feels like a fill in

    Ciara is doing grand. Has a good interviewing style. Had Prime Time on tonight and Miriam drove me mad with her sighing.

    When I hear the phrase wet pubs, I immediately think of the scene from Horrible Bosses, where a supposed hitman was hired to perform "Wet work" Maybe that's how pubs can generate some revenue from now on.....

    Ivan was absolutely useless at his job on newstalk and the tonight show. Lowest common denominator, if he couldn't handle a guest he'd insult them or look for a reaction to cover his lack of interviewing technique.

    I find Ciara Doherty excellent, extremely easy to listen to and very professional. She is clearly well qualified. I hope people aren't mixing her up with another Ciara who'd make your ears bleed..

    New presenter pretty sharp.
    She doesnt allow guests to drift off the point or not answer questions.

    Remember the night they had her on, along with a random secondary school principal who was voicing his concerns re the premature reopening of schools, and she whipped out an A4 page with 30 boxes that she'd drawn with a ruler + pen?? Preaching that by her calculations, students would be fine as their desks could be adequately distanced from one another by at least 1m, easily thwarting the dastardly virus. :rolleyes: I despair...

    Only seen her the odd time on that breakfast show. Took banal to a new level and a voice that would wreck your head

    Surprised to hear positive reports, maybe I'll chance it some evening.

    That doctor/academic guy ‘Tomas Ryan’ is very entertaining. I could listen to him all day, unlike that other young GO from ranelagh who loves to be on tv now but us completely boring.

    Have to say Ciara Doherty was like a breath of fresh air on the show, a good choice IMO and completely different to MOC wailing like a Banshee over on Prime Time.

    Matt Cooper is a headwreck these days to listen to so the less I see of him the better.

    Just watched it, and my first impressions of Ciara Doherty are positive. She is clearly intelligent, has read into the subject, asks the right questions, and can continue a line of questioning without a “script” when a follow up it is needed. She also “runs” the interviews, by which I mean she’s definitely managing proceedings and appropriately steering the conversation.

    I found I couldn’t watch it under the previous regime. Now, I will, at least when she’s at the helm. Matt’s trajectory, both on this and the Last Word, is downwards as far as I am concerned

    Haven't seen her yet, but anything would be better than Ivan Yates, TBH.

    An inanimate carbon rod would be better than Ivan Yates.

    I like Matt but I think he can be a little out of his depth at times. Ciara seems to have a deeper understanding of the more technical topics of conversation, making the show more interesting imo. It's quite obvious when Matt doesn't understand something fully as tends to let the guest ramble on unchallenged for a while, before throwing out a random question to make it seem as though he's in control. No hate though, I think he's a gent.

    Cooper is supposed to keep his own personal opinions to himself and be impartial, something he has not done over the last few years whenever something about US politics is up for discussion.
