There's a lot of pathetic begrudgery aimed at Lottie Ryan here, surrounding her position in RTE.

May I be so bold as to offer a simple explanation?

In the same way that Jason Bonham has followed John Bonham, or that Felix Pastorious has followed Jaco Pastorious, or that Mick Schumacher is following Michael Schumacher, Lottie Ryan is following her father Gerry.

It's called genetics.

No... it's called practise, practise (and as Ray Charles once said) "more practise". The people you named above didn't achieve their talents because of 'genetics' as you put it, but through hours, days, weeks, months and years of practise... and none of them got a job simply 'because of their father'. Gerry Ryan himself was no great shakes, an average DJ of little skill, who mumbled his way through the airwaves.
Sift back a few pages on this topic to post #18, which gives a fairly accurate assessment of what he was like.
Not to speak ill of the dead, but he really wasn't much good...as a DJ !
Maybe his daughter can or will be better, who knows, but like all the people you named above who have... she really needs to pay her dues !
