    This Dermot is the Chap who wants to be Andrew Maxwell when he grows up, and is currently masquerading as a giant condom in a TV biscuit ad?

    Due respect etc etc etc, but I've already read enough to know that a few is too many.

    You don't know him yet you write him off?

    Dermot Whelan is a genuinely funny and really nice guy. He's about the same age as Andrew Maxwell as far as I know, if not slightly older. He's also an accomplished stand up comedian and has been hugely successful on 98FM alongside Dave Moore - 9 years on the breakfast show and now on Drive. He takes over as the presenter on RTÉ's "Republic of Telly" this year from Neil Delamere.

    Yes, he's also appeared as a taste bud (not a condom, although there's a passing resemblance I suppose) in the ad for Jacobs Fig Rolls.

    ... and I, for one, think that of those shortlisted, he and Dave well deserved to win in the Breakfast category.

    How Ray Darcy can win speech broadcaster of the year ahead of either Moncrieff or Mooney is a mystery to me. And they are just two of the more popular shows that would be more worthy of the award.

    How Darcy can win anything is a mystery full stop. He truly is one of Irelands worst broadcasters. I prefer to listen to presenters who are at least as intelligent as myself or more so. It's no wonder Darcy was popular on the Den, same intellect as his viewers.

    I'd forgotten I posted that to be honest.

    Oh no, I am familiar with him. I just don't think he's remotely funny. I've heard him on the radio, I've seen him do stand up in a few locations (mostly live, but I've also witnessed his disastrous RTE chat show appearance), and after watching through one full episode, I've subsequently changed the channel whenever he appeared on the panel.

    I think he relies on smart-arsery, smugness, bland childishness and obvious laboured puns instead of actual gags on radio, and just relies on facial mugging instead of actual gags when on TV.

    While he may indeed be an A-1 super guy in person, I was referring to his ability to entertain. I find him boring and tremendously unfunny, and I feel his winning an award is an indictment of the Irish entertainment industry in general , really.

    Still, Humour is relative I suppose.
