      One of the Garrihys was in some paper yesterday talking about her Top Tips for motherhood. She's just had her first child. Now if I was a new mother I don't think I'd want advice from someone in the same boat as me, rather someone who's an expert in the field.

      same with Vogue...why do these "celebs" think we want their "expert" knowledge

      There's an influencer down here and she hosted/partook in a motherhood "tips" class(advertised on every social media page)...saw her a few weeks later in a restaurant with a mate and her child on a lunch break (directly in front of her so i unfortunate got to see everything she did) , and she never looked at the child once and couldnt get off her phone (and the poor staff were all waiting on her hand on foot - end rant)....was this display of parenting a part of her class

      Ahh using the "mental health" card like bressie/blindboy.....i guarantee not one person asked her at all...

      pnly thing surprised me on this article is that She's almost 35 - f'n hell, i thought she was at least a decade younger

      Yup... she's in a precarious position right now. She's too old to be 'new talent'... she's closer to 40 than she is to 20.

      That's why she hasn't gotten a hope in heck of becoming a major player at RTE.

      And if folks think I'm being sexist, it works the same way for guys too. Eoghan McDermott was once seen as 'young talent'.

      Slowly but surely, he wasn't getting picked up for much TV work. (Once the Voice of IReland was over, his chances of getting more presenting gigs also dried up).

      Nowadays, he's stuck in radio. I think he thought his faux-ultimatum to RTE ('I'm going to Australia') backfired.

      Linked to the above article is this:

      https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/irish-showbiz/lottie-ryan-fighting-secure-radio-22296107

      Which contains the quote of the century:

      “It’s a very family orientated place.”

      She's talking about RTE! If you're from the right family and have a career handed to you, yes I'm sure it is. Nepotism personified is Lottie.

      Oh I don't know, only 28.68% of the poll responders actually want to scrap RTE altogether.

      I'd say it's all to play for.

      I’m not advocating that RTÉ should be scrapped. I’m hoping, against all the odds that RTÉ will wake up to the real world, like every other business in the country is having to do

      So there is hope after all.

      I'll be happy if we get a well resourced Public Broadcasting Service fit for the challenges of the new media age.

      Me I'd just be happy if they showed they could manage the resources they recieve already instead of using the license fee as some sort of slush fund to keep the "talent" in the manner to which they have become accustomed. A state within a state is what they are. Tubbs, D'Arcy, Duffy and the rest sure if you put them 3 together you wouldn't get I decent presenter

      Hyping this up as a win, when it's really a loss for her. She's filling in for Jennifer Z-lister, who's going on holidays.

      It's a slow news day story trying to make RTE look 'diverse'.

      The same RTE who probably thinks permatanned Marty Morrissey is 'A person of colour'.

      Someone is unhappy with that (check out RTE ONE's twitter account) block from posting?

      I'd hazard a guess that the cost of repairs needed for this vandalism will be in the region of €60m.
