    Mine would be Nikki Hayes. Not gunna say why, I just hate her on t'radio. And Jim & Niamh off of FM104. Aural diarrhea!

    What about you?

    Note: Don't be a sap and make personal jabs against them, just why you dislike then on the radio.

    Ian Dempsey when he does that American accent thingy when announcing a song.


    Keep Phil Cawley there instead, you can feel the tension between him and Paul Collins, its great.

    Oh and Ray Foley, his show got old quick

    Fenton. Hands down, no contest.

    His phony 'OH MY GAWD' carry on drives me to drink. The alternative on 2fm at that time is just as brutal.

    Everytime I hear him I die a little inside

    Ray Darcy. After all these years never progressed beyond the stage of thinking it was cool and rebellious to swear on air.

    Ruth Scott...way too mid-atlantic.
    Ray D'arcy...as many others have said the show is just a whingefest in my opinion. The tone of the show is as if the world was going to end tomorrow:rolleyes:

    Ruth Scott probably. I also can't stand when Will Leahy cuts into a song to say "tuuuune", indicating that he thinks it is a great song. "Twaaaat", indicating i think he is a twat.

    Interesting that the same names tend to be repeated so I won't buck the trend.

    Ray D'Arcy, Tim Kelly, Andy Preston and Chris Green are my nominations.

    Ray D'Arcy and Gerry Ryan because both shows are pure drivel.

    Ryan Tubridy because I really can't stand the guy.

    There are loads more from 2fm and the odd one or two on Today FM but they wouldn't make me want to bang my head repeatedly against the steering wheel like the above would.

    Ray Foley is painfully bad and the whole programme is like a tired joke that just isn't funny, even an adolescent would find it a sad effort. Its woefully lacking in talent and overwhelming comprised of ego, silly stale gags and a ha ha aren't we mad vibe. On good days its just irritating.

    Gerry Ryan is immediate jump for the radio and change channels alert. I have no idea how that kind of show with his presenting has lasted so long. I honestly don't think he is an intelligent individual and therefore he appeals to a lower common denominator.

    Recently, I have been finding Alison Curtis more and more annoying. I sometimes like the music she plays but cannot stand when she starts on with her chummy in with the girls "yeah I just looovve this too,... had such a great time at this,... was telling my husband..."Oh just shut up and play some tunes please.

    Gerry Ryan purely for the fact he eats and slurps his tea while on the air. It's so rude.

    There's a FM104 DJ on the grave yard shift and she has such a put on accent it's very irritating. I couldn't tell you her name as I don't care to find it out. Channel switch immediately when I hear her.

    I can't stand Gerry Ryan. So smug and self-satisfied. The Ray Foley show is horribly annoying too.

    The one presenter that I absolutely can't stand is Miochael McMullan who does the sport on Today FM. Sounds like he's got marbles in his mouth or something. His voice drives me up the wall :mad:

    Has to be the poorest of RTE's news presenters. All of the rest are pretty strong to be honest. But Mary Wilson is poor.

    I "dislike strongly" that Rick O'Shea's dispicable voice. Every time I hear him I think of that horrible man covered in grease who was your woman's boss in the take away in Human Traffic. Uggghhhhhhh..

    Also Darcy for his holier than thou attitude. He thinks everybody who drives a car is the spawn of satan.
    It's your choice to cycle everywhere Darcy, don't shove it down my throat.
