    I wouldn't call George Lee a dial-a-quote, as he only works for RTÉ, appears only on RTÉ, and I've not seen him write for a newspaper.

    Your typical dial-a-quotes are all of the above mentioned, typically newspaper columnists and opinion piece writers, or current and ex-heads of organisations like trade unions, associations etc.

    True fact: Conor has a red "batphone" in his office that's used solely for calls when a talking head is needed.

    Jim Power of Friends First. I don't think he has an actual job there, just a media brief.
