    What would be your ideal, Irish, radio schedule for a day? Imagining a “radio day” to be from, say, 5am until 2am. For me it would be:

    5-7am - Mairead Ronan

    7-9am - Ian Dempsey 

    9am-12pm - Pat Kenny

    12-2pm - Louise Duffy

    2-4pm - Seán Moncrieff

    4-6pm Anton Savage

    6-7pm - Dave Fanning

    7-10pm - Off the Ball

    10-12am - John Creedon 

    12am-2am - Lillian Smith 

    Obviously, there’d be a few other, notable, presenters I would add in if I could but, after some serious consideration, these are what won out. 

    So, who’s in your “dream team”?
