I actually thought his career is on the up, to the fair. He seems to be RTEs golden boy, did the celebrity ure a star and the like and doin childrens stuff. He appears to have good interpersonal skils and be quite personable with people and not as wooden as quite a lot of the RTE heads have been.CountingCrows wrote: »Its a PR stunt, his career currently involves opening supermarkets - bit of free publicity etc.....
Anyway I thought this was on Sligo hottest birds Counting Crows and presumed you must be fishing for the title.
I can adjudicate if you wish.

Having witnessed him on a night out, I can safely say he has all the personality and people skills of a plank.
You don't get huge money for things like kids T.V. in ireland. His income is directly related to his exposure and to be honest who knew anything of his private life before? As I recall, he "came forward" to tell "his story" because he was "sick of all the rumour and lies printed elsewhere". (inverted commas mine. May not actually be quotes.). I only remember one picture in the papers prior to his exposé. Like most minor celebrities, they live off media exposure. So when some paper reports something less than savoury about the RTE golden boy a year or two down the line, I'll have no sympathy for him. Live by the sword etc.
A "Plank" like Pat you mean. Some of the best paid RTE journalists are likewise "blessed". (inverta commas my own!)
I was only going on what i observed was his level of exposure which I thought is moderately high. Beginning to trip over him. He was on the normal "Ure a star" tonight as well. Not that I watch it, okay not for long.
Cant say I know much about him otherwise havent really be keeping tabs. Was going on the link posted, that he didnt seem to do an interview. However, hem if i need to get his biographical details ( I wont!) I shall know who to go to.
TBH I am not too bothered with him. The way I look at is as long as its not somebody famous' son or daughter getting a job in RTE then fair play to him.
Oh yes he can date whatever woman he likes, it is a bit of a waste of trees though to have to read about it.

I wouldn’t totally agree with you on this. I wouldnt think his income is intrinsically linked to his exposure in the tabloid press if you're in light entertainment. Its related to the amount of jobs he is getting with RTE i.e. his ability to do the job. And of course the ratings on these programmes. (Which is where the public comes in) He is a singer (technically) but hasn’t an album out that he is trying to flog and doesn’t depend on keeping a profile up. He has moved away from singing, which as probably safe enough as he was only good enough for a cabaret circuit. :rolleyes: What he does depend on is the good will (I would have thought) of the Director general and different bosses to get the jobs he is getting. This he does by doing as good a job in the light entertainment industry, as he can. The ratings would be the best indicator of him doing his job right and getting a new one. Maybe there are kids that tune in cos they think he is gorgeous or something, but on these programmes isn’t it about how he facilitates them, how comfortable he is with people and how good he is "live" with a big audience and batting the likes of yer man "Brendan". Bad press might even mean fewer jobs. Look how long it took Derek Mooney to "come out"; sadly he must have been worried about both ratings and jobs.
I would quite admire him for not having too much coverage when you googled him so that he isn’t pushing himself forward at B parties, but you say you think he may be trying to court the media, maybe he wants his private life private. ....
It could be the press themselves (as his star rises in RTE) trying to get an angle on him as it was a slow day.
Anyway I reckon what I am trying to say in round that as much as it galls me he may have some talent in the light entertainment industry and this could mean he will continue to get the jobs. This also could mean he doesn’t have to depend on opening supermarkets to supplement his income. I would like to think this but then I am probably well off the mark.
He is no doubt writing his autobiography as we speak about his life with Mezzalie McGarry. 0 -
