    Anyone hear him sing "Welcome, to my World" when talking about Bertie and the FF ministers giving up/holding on to their pensions etc. It was apt both in a financial sense and a FF sense.
    Wow. He'll be on O Connell bridge with a saucer before long.

    Miriam O'Callghan and other RTE people have confirmed Gerry Ryan dies of a heart attack on Twitter

    standard "guess who died" rumour.

    I stress: Not substantiated, no sources confirming it anywhere - you'd imagine if it were true we'd have heard officially by now.

    So folks - please don't post it here again.

    Taken from Miriam O'Callaghans twitter about rumours of Gerry Ryan.

    Tragically it is true. So terribly shocking and sad. Life is just too cruel sometimes. RIP

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Ok folks, sadly it turns out to be true.


    So, this is the only warning.

    ANYONE using this thread to slag the guy off will be banned from the forum.

    if you want to post a respectful post here, do it. If you don't, don't post anything.

    Read this carefully:


    ANYBODY POSTING REMARKS IN BAD TASTE WILL BE BANNED. BB and I will decided what "bad taste" is. If you're not sure, don't post.

    Did not like him or his show but you have to admit he was a giant of Irish media and still a relatively young man.

    His show has run for decades on 2fm and held constantly high listening figures. Myself and the missus were only watching him on tv last night and commented on how heavy he had gotten. He has had a rough past year or two in his personal life. My thoughts are with his family.

    RIP gerry.

    His poor family.

    I was not a fan, but he did a lot of good.

    No, Colm & Jim Jim did an extra hour, then Fiona Looney did 10-12.

    As much as I didn't like the man, this is a terrible tragedy for his family.

    RIP.
