    The Westlife gimp on 2fm. He needed to be gagged not put on the radio.

    The Northern Irish guy who does rugby commentary on Sky is worse for that sort of thing.

    My own voice is the most annoying, I just hate listening back to myself and no doubt others do too when it comes to their own voices.

    Yes! I also hate Raychull Ollun's poncey accent. Hers and her Mother in Law's.

    Chris Donoghue from Newstalk wins hands down for me. He is obsessed with over articulation, and his aggressive 't' leaps out of every word and it pretty much feels like I'm being whacked on the head repeatedly at that hour of the morning.

    Soften it up a bit Chris! (I'm sure Ivan would find an innuendo there).:)

    I find the voice of Dennis O' Brien echoing out of his gob far more disconcerting.....

    Katie Taylor's voice is horrific.

    I'd never say it to her though or she would clobber me with 5 times world champion fists

    Its a shame because she could probably do quite nicely from adverts etc.

    Another vote for Katie Taylor, she sounds like she's doped up to the eyeballs on sleeping tablets or something.
    George Hook sounds like he's chewing on something constantly, shlurping his way through sentences.
    Joan Burton, good Jesus...

    Irish people in general have very poor annunciation in certain parts of the country, and don't get me starting on not being able to pronounce "th" in words.

    that guy who does the ad's for 'the phoenix'

    WTF sort of a nasally accent is that? Only ad on the radio that makes me station jump immediately I so much cant stand to hear it. Baseball bat to the fcuking throat is called for.

    One of those suction thingys like you get at the dentist in the side of his gob while he's prattling on might be worth a try.


    Haha! Same applies for Joe Brolly. The amount of saliva that accumulates in that man's munchkin cheeks is phenomenal!

    Katie sounds like she is commentating on a horserace - only the horserace never gets exciting
    She doesn't annoy me though

    Bryan Dobson, Miriam O'Callaghan.

    An Australian woman who does traffic news on a radio station, can't remember which one. "Bumpah to bumpah!"

    Michael McMullen who does sports updates on some channel or other, has a bizarre mix between Irish and English accent.

    Anyone with a Cork accent.

    Hector.

    Steve Staunton.

    Any of the Healy Raes.

    Cork people. Seriously, have you heard the Cork accent?

    Don't mind his accent as such, what annoys me is his affected 'man of the people, shure I'm just an innocent abroad' spiel when questioning guests.
