No, I suspect Yvonne is not being serious at all. She's been on a wind-up since the start of the thread and in fairness to her - it has worked.

Ah look fox , she might have fooled some of the more 'innocent' contributors,but I don't thinks she conned the hard core contributors .

Certainly not EDS

This thread being revived has made me realise Lottie Ryan has been at RTE for at least nine years and she’s still woeful. It’s an utter disgrace that she’s been allowed to continue at 2Fm for this long

The Gogans. Larry shd I think he had a don, Gerry on air at 2FM at one stage.

The Mc Namara’s

Micky Mac and Conor Mc Namara..?

gerry ryan's brother Mike started as a dj on rte 2fm in 1988 and remained there until around 1999.

he still works in rte radio as continuity announcer and on their broadcast systems.

Wasn’t there a couple of Cogleys in the sports department, father and son , years ago?

I may be imagining it but feel I’m not but I’m sure Teresa love’s sister was doing continuity on RTE2 at one point. It wasn’t for long and I may be wrong!

Aengus Cox, son of Valerie, presenting Morning Ireland this week. Judi Dench even passed on best wishes to the mother after his interview with her this morning. the same Valerie who took them for €50k at the WRC for discrimination on age grounds

Off topic, but I thought that was a terrible interview with Judi Dench. He was talking to her like a doddery old granny in a care home.

There's several camera men, women and technical support employees from the same family.

The problem is that substantial amounts of Irish people who have no problem with a family using the state broadcaster to provide the rest of their family with jobs.

so many times she has been shoehorned into different roles, now doing what should be the newsreaders job and is seen in the public eye as a source of ridicule...

You have to give Lottie some credit for having got away with turning up to 2fm for so long without actually doing anything worth while .She should have an award for her brass neck .
