    Had to Google her to remind me of who she is again. She comes across as a right annoying airhead here.

    Wasn't she sacked because of ageism, allegedly? And replaced by Sinead Kennedy, without Maye being told?

    Sheana Keane, who was a presenter on the fairly decent Afternoon Show during my student days, who accused Blathbaid Ni Chofaigh of bullying her and I think the show was axed after that.

    No, first Anna Nolan left, then Sheana left, then accused Blathnaid of bullying, Maura Derrane replaced Keane, the series was axed. Then, Maura was moved to Today, and Blathnaid and Norah Casey hosted Wagon's Den on Fridays, then Wagon's Den was pulled and Today replaced it.

    There's a clip on YT of her on Winning Streak taking the piss put of a gaelgoir a few yrs back. Didn't go down well. She was pulled shortly after. Last time i saw her on tv she was at some horserace meeting interviewing people for ladies day i think.

    Wasn't it Andy Ruane who got the rights to the Lyrics Game and sold that?
    Play the Game I don't think'd have been profitable, as it was just Give Us A Clue.

    She did Winning Streak, and then RTE got rid of her.

    Saw him in a pub in Clare a few months ago. If he was chocolate he'd ate himself.

    Andy has had his own production company based on his immortal catchphrase "Like it, love it" for years. They did the TG4 chart show with the people walking randomly past in the background. Amongst others, I'm sure.

    Wasn't she quite critical?
    Ruth O'Neill will end up the same way.

    Harry Molloy, Paul Reynor was the actor - I believe he's the uncle of Jack Reynor.
    Brenda Donohue - she still appears time to time on Today.

    . She's involved with Marty morrissey's gaa show also.

    Yes, he was always on RTE music related shows in the 80's. He seemed ancient even back then. Always came across as a right pain.

    He pops up every so often. He was on liveline when Bowie died for example.

    Good old Johnny One. Was commenting about him earlier and how at one point you've always see him popping up in Irish movies but haven't seen him in anything in years.
