i think hes a very good presenter, its nice to have a presenter who is not from dublin, like 90 per cent of the presenters on rte radio.
he has an easy going personality which reflects where he comes from.
he does not pick out the topics for the show .
Maybe once a month they could have a female presenter just as a change of pace.
i,d prefer a presenter to be honest and sincere than one who pretends to be interested in everything .
And he has a sense of humour unlike some rte presenters who sound like they are they are mainly concerned with sounding serious and important .

Not sure the 90% figure is accurate. Off the top of my head Claire Byrne is from Laois, Ray Darcy from Kildare.

Taoiseach coming across well on RTÉ in fairness

[Deleted User]

Why on earth did it take the Taoiseach driving to Clonakilty to announce 150 jobs to 20 people?

Not being able to leave your county is a lockdown.

I think the people of Wuhan would strongly disagree with you.

Better than the last few appearances on TV, I think radio suits him better.

I find this easier to most of the interview with politicians which have been almost attacking or trying to catch out. The presenter following a line not letting conversation evolve

All about politics, appeals to the Cork base.

M Martin always sounds like a bloke being
confronted for selling a dodgy car.
And he's very possibly in for a hiding

Pelvis Parsley

When MM comes across well, he comes across very well-and he was always at his best on radio.

Too many of them see it as a badge of honour to catch out a politician, and badger them. They forget that the audience sometimes wants to hear what the interviewee has to say, not the interviewer.

There are some egregious characters at this. Robert Downes for one, Aine Lawlor for 2, and over on Newsrant, “Doctor “ Ciara Kelly should really just interview herself.

Finished, overall I thought a good, human interview.

I didn’t hear it - I must do so on playback.

I’m not a political fan of M Martin, but I’m glad he did well as it reduces the amount of negativity in the country.

We should put in the same restrictions of travel to this country as Cyprus have in that you need to have been tested negative for the virus within 72 hours of arriving in to this country.

Very soft interview with Michael Martin.

Did they say Denise Welch on next? This Denise Welch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFqpt9UuKCY

Can imagine RTE giving her a platform to question Government policy on COVID?

Oops69

Cyprus , a 'glorious' coming together of turkish and greek cultures , lol , this travel guy is a spoofer .

Martin didn’t even really condemn that incident with Leo..line he was afraid to call it a scum act..

Yep...about as trashy a guest you could find..

She’ll either be talking gick about Covid, or about masturbating during lockdown..

Mike Murphy, way too smart for my liking.

I’m sure the cost won’t hurt you too much, Mick!

Mike sould be compulsorily cocooned and gagged as well .

Former property developer and broadcaster Mike Murphy has to cancel a holiday to Italy...first world problems again

Shelga

My heart bleeds for Mike Murphy having to cancel his Italian holiday. Anyone who books a holiday abroad has to be prepared for the fact that it might have to be cancelled last minute. I wouldn’t contemplate going abroad this year anyway, it’s not worth the risk.

He’s some eejit.

Give the two old geezers a chance.:)

The life experience of these two men has given them a wealth of stories worth listening to.

That joke was so good he had to say it twice. Good man Brennan, the only person laughing at that one is yourself :rolleyes:

I think it goes back to the 60's and 70's when you had to be a pompous git to get a job in RTE. He's still a pompous git.

I like Mike Murphy but his comment at the beginning about his holiday just shows the different perspectives on what is hardship during Covid times...just a bit irritating to listen to.

Dunno, I don't mind Mike. But these posts did make me laugh
