    In your opinion?

    Obviously Gaybo is the most talented Rte presenter Ireland has ever had, as a producer /and his presenting style, meant he he was genuinely world class. He could ab lib, he could get people to talk openly. Someone that genuinely could have made more money elsewhere . Maybe that's why rte belevied rte should pay everyone else so high?

    Dave fanning was a great rock journalist who had an exclopedida knowledge of music.. A man that knew more about music and his subjects than the people themselves. It's great watching back his interviews with rock stsrs and them being shocked and impressed with how good his questions were. Real quality insightful interviews . I cant imagine 2fm presenters today being that informed

    I think Tommy tiernans presenting style shows the most talent. Not sure if he counts as Rte or not

    The relative silence (three mins is an age in AH terms) speaks volumes

    I'm thinking....I'm thinking.....

    Maybe.....no...…...or...,no.


    I'll keep thinking.


    The most talented implies some level of talent, which is making this difficult.

    Can't say any of them are particularly talented although John Creedon seems a genuinely nice guy.

    Has to be Chris Kamara...



    Edit: not rte though!!

    Mary Wilson on Drivetime. Dobbo was a good interviewer before he got ostracised for earning too much.

    Can't think of anyone on the telly. They usually get rid of anybody with even a hint of actual talent.

    Mark Cagney has always been my favourite.

    I've always liked Keelin Shanley. She's a good interviewer - kinda wasted on the news.

    Sarah McInerney was good standing in for Vinb anytime I saw her.

    It was Dick Warner or John Giles... now its eh... well I'll get back to you on that one.

    Not sure if Rory O'Connell counts as real RTE or just someone talented who just happens to be on RTE.

    Dobo until his colleagues got offended cause he works harder, longer & has more skill in his hair than his co presenter and he got shafted


    I say this as a human who identifies as gender neutral

    Always like listening to Dave Fanning. It is a pity he isnt on weekdays on the 9 to 12 slot. He really knows how to conduct an interview. He lets his guest speak and then manages to comeback with a relevant follow up question or answer.

    With her (all be it at her employers behest) attempted character fascination of Peter Casey on Six One turned me right off

    Fanning is a total music snob.
