A Dublin disc jockey who beat his wife has received a 12 month suspended sentence from Judge Elizabeth Dunne at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. Former FM 104 and Century Radio DJ Greg Gaughran (39), of Fairways Green, Finglas, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Mrs Liz Gaughran on July 4th last. Gaughran was on the air at FM 104 until he pleaded guilty to the offence on March 2nd last. He lost his job and was granted legal aid before the hearing. Garda Mick Hubbard told Mr Conor Devally, prosecuting, that Gaughran began shouting at his wife when she returned to their home before breaking a telephone and savagely assaulting her. He followed her up the stairs and pushed her into the bathroom where he kicked and punched her as well as pulling her hair. Garda Hubbard said Gaughran then put his foot against her chest and kicked her into the bath. He continued to kick and punch her, leaving her face badly scarred and bloodied. He broke his watch during the assault. Gaughran's two daughters, aged nine and seven, witnessed the incident. Mrs Gaughran went to a neighbour's house where the gardai and an ambulance were called. Gaughran told gardai he got very drunk and "lost it". Garda Hubbard said Mrs Gaughran's face, arms and legs were badly cut and she had a deep abrasion to the back of her head. The wounds healed after four to six weeks.

Even he knows what he's in atm. Lol! Hopefully he can depart before it's too late. He kept referring to "Bob" and constantly bringing up life survey statistics... awful. Only good dialogue was when he recalled interviewing Bruce Springsteen about a decade ago and how nervous Bruce seemed at the time and still does...

How much revenue would nova make on ads per year ... how many staff have they on their books. Seems like it’s running at a loss but yet it’s still going. If my corner shop runs at a loss , it shuts down.
