Irish Presenters You Like

Feisar

Seems like we all detest anyone and everyone in Irish media!

Is there anyone you like? PJ and Jim on Classic hits 4FM are pretty good and I like Ivan Yates on Newstalk.
In terms of the telly Ryan Tubridy isn't bad at all, hardly his fault if the best guests RTE can get are from the canteen.

I have to disagree OP, Ryan Tubridy can be terrible.

Apart from Yates maybe, the rest are a bad start to this thread anyway

Fair enough, I don't be glued to him on TV or radio but the few times I do watch the Late Late I can't complain. To be fair I don't like chat shows anyway so I'm no pundit in that regard.

Ian Dempsey definitely.

Dermot and Dave are funny, but can get a bit samey.

Podge and Rodge.

Mr. Incognito

Ryan is awful because he does not listen to his guests but rattles through his list of prepared questions which leads to awkward silences, disjointed interviews and his inability to react.

Its why anyone with any brain has turned him inside out.

Tommy Tiernan was very impressive in his show reacting to guests.

Ya, he’s great on the old opinion box. Extremely intelligent, always has his research done, and with excellent diction.

Keelin Shanley, straight forward, crisp, and to the point no dragging things out.

Mary Kennedy

D4 lady with the mole who is a presenter on ear to the ground and has embraced all things "the bog"

Nial boylan, he's not amazing by any means but within the context of the uber PC Irish media, the man is a revolutionary

Dave Fanning, he's a music and movies nerd but that's ok

I think Keith Walsh is doing a decent job for the fact that he works with Bernard O'Shea and Jennifer Zamparelli.

I also like that one lady on Nova, forgot her name.

And I'll get myself shot on here but I think overall Eoghan McDermot is doing his job pretty well. I know it's not popular liking any RTE presenters, but he's having his show on the best slot of the week which is the perfect opportunity to talk about things the average sheltered office clerk doesn't often think about. I think he does a good job and he is very smart in how he hosts the show.
That said, his "Love you bye" makes me cringe.

Oh and I absolutely love John Kelly on Lyric FM, I think he's my favourite.

True but his anti trump crusade smacks of shilling, suspect he is obeying the meme

Absolutely love John Creedon. He just comes across as such a gentleman and engages so well with everyone. Very down to earth.

Marty Whelan. He has the perfect charisma for light entertainment shows like Winning Streak.

This - add Ian Dempsey /Paul Mcloone/ed Smith

I would’ve had Matt Cooper but he’s gone far left over the last few years and his interview style has been softened (used to be a tough/good interview but never seems to challenge anyone on left side now)

SexBobomb

John Creedon and Dave Fanning two guys that seem to have a genuine love of music and their job
I forgot Ed Smith his show is great

tastyt

Moncrief is good, can be funny and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Ivan yates too, an absolute WUM

I like kilbane on off the ball too

KungPao

Having thought about it, I’ll have to go with none of them.

Gerry Ryan was alright though.

Dublin Spur

Yeats is quality, very sharp and doesn't take himself too seriously
Quite like Matt Cooper too.

jimwallace197

I attended two conventions where Ivan Yeates was speaking and strangely enough I found him much better in person than on the radio, he was quite charismatic with the audience and came across very well, funny too.

Pat Kenny is probably the best we have currently, knowledgeable, usually is able to see both sides of the argument and impartial too. His voice is easy to listen to which is always a bonus

branie2

The late Gerry Ryan
John Creedon
Ryan Tubridy (controversial I know)
Gay Byrne
Miriam O'Callaghan

cavemeister

For me, its:

Pat Kenny - Never try to bullsh!t him, he knows his facts and figures backwards.
Sharon Ni Bheolain - A total pro
Yasmine Akram - Her sense of humor just cracks me up.

Brian Dobson's infamous Bertie interview has forever sullied his reputation.

I like Hector on the TG4 travel shows that he does.

magic_murph

John Creeden for president.

RTE definitely needs some fresh faces that are actually qualified for the job rather than pulling in anybody with more that 5k followers on instagram (further inflating their already over hyped ego's)
