    There is so many of them, the Mid West one I think Jenny O something.

    Fergal Bowers voice is annoying also.

    Ciaran Maalllooohhy reporting from Mullinnggaarr.....

    Fozzy Bears Irish cousin.

    Although she's a grand thing to stare at while learning about war in the middle east, Sharon ni Bheolains voice and tone goes right through me. The girl is constantly in need of a strepsil


    There was a running joke on oliver callans sketch show about her being a robot, referring to her speech

    As opposed to sending in his reports while lightly jogging around the Dail?

    Marty Morrissey scares me.

    Favourite is ciaran mulooly, strikes me as a decent guy without a laboured rte news readers accent. Brendan Wright probably my most annoying since he seems to love the misery of his northern stories!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Adamantium


    Business correspondent, I can't think of her name. Always and only talking about SIPTU and trade union deals.

    Feels a like a secondary school business class/teacher on cocaine.
    Most. boring. job. ever.

    Brian Dowling, Ciaran Malooley.

    With Sharon Ni Bheolain as the most annoying & amaturish TV News presenter.

    Yeh you can hear the sadistic passion in his voice especially when hes reporting on a shooting or death

    I don't really watch TV but have it on in the background sometimes and I could have sworn I heard one of them sign off as, "Hulk Hogan, RTE News, Dublin".

    Id say Aonghus has to be. He literally cannot improvise. At all.

    He spoke to some Coastguard lad live last night, and the man took him off his pre-prepared questions by expanding on some other points. Aonghus just spluttered and stuttered some nonsense before saying "thats grand" and letting him go.

    I half expected another frozen in the headlights moment followed a painfully long time later by............................."What?"

    Its not good readers you need as such, its people with charisma and a bit of cop on.

    Theres nothing more cringey than a sportsguy handover on an RTE bulletin

    Dobbo:"Looks a tough task player X has there eh Joe?"

    Joe "Eh, yes Brian. Thanks Brian."

    There 2 IMO. Pascal Sheehy has a really dreary voice that makes me not listen to anything he says. There's also that correspondent that reports on places around athlone (not sure if it is David Davinpower.)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,744 ✭✭✭diomed


    The guy who says PortlaoiseA

    Ingrid Miley.

    Terrible diction when not on auto cue.

    Sean "broadly in line figures" Whelan

    nothing negative ever spoken about the economy since he took over from George

    He's the best!! He brought us Bridie!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    It really annoys me the way they all say 'Are T E'. This is Ireland, it's 'Oar T E'!

    Pat McGrath looks like a Pat Shortt character.

    The guy with the really odd hair, David Davin Power, I think. I can't focus on what he's saying because his hair is so bizarre. Is it a really bad wig, is it just a really atrocious haircut:confused: Enquiring minds want to know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,381 ✭✭✭Yurt2


    'Ciaran Malooley, side of a ditch , Edenderry, Co.Offaly'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,637 ✭✭✭BMJD


    there's this one dude who sounds and looks like he should be David Cameron's special advisor on complicated stuff, then he brings us a stupid ****ing report about a donkey who dances to Lady Gaga songs or something, can't remember his name. He always gets the shortest straw by the looks of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    Ciaran Mullooly

    Every time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,420 ✭✭✭✭sligojoek


    Plus one on Fergal Bowers. He finishes every sentence like he's gong to cry.

    Also Michele McCaughran. She gets all the sad foreign stories and finishes each sentence like the above mentioned F B.

    Theresa Mannion is another

    Don't start me.

    They're all legends.

    I am sure they are very nice people but Emma O Kelly the education correspondent drives me mad she is so earnest and Ingrid Miley the industrial correspondent seems to live for bad new which she delivers in a breathless exited voice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,215 ✭✭✭bottlebrush


    Emma O'Kelly, Education correspondent and Fergal Bowers, Health correspondent - when they come on I feel my brain glazing over, think it's the topics they are reporting on more so their voices.

    Any of them that say 'gordai' get my vote. Actually, that's most of them. And, it's not just on RTE either.
