    Eoghan McDermott is the best I think, he mixes the serious with the silly quite well.

    Wouldn't mind hearing some new part time voices on 2FM in the near future. Maybe some RTE Pulse presenters?

    Is Dan Healy a great man that turned 2fm around or was he lucky that Today FM has been slowly sinking these last couple of years?

    Bit of both. But I'd go more on the side of todayfm decided to turn itself into the titanic of Irish radio but he's done good stuff that have helped. I actually did something I'd have never thought of doing before and I deleted the todayfm app off my phone. I mean I don't listen to the station so might aswell delete it.

    It is amazing to see the quick slide of Today FM these past couple of years, but even Ian Dempsey was laughing on his twitter account about Dan Healy saying that 2fm was going to take them on when he got the job in 2013

    Ian aint laughing now cause Breakfast Republic is miles ahead in the JNLR figures.

    Such a pity Chris & Ciara left their brilliant 10pm show on weeknights to do 4 hours of garbage at the weekend.

    Will Nicky Byrne still get his full £200,000 pay packet even though he will be missing for most of 2019 on 2fm?

    He'll need it-seems the Spice Girls tour will mean Westlife are left collecting pennies.

    ??? Theyve sold out one (possibly 2 nights) in croke park, and 1 night with a second added in Belfast. And thats just in ireland.

    Id say the official line will be he's on a sabbatical something like ivan yates did. Then he'll pack it in altogether if they have success with their new music. Given that Steve mac and ed Sheeran are writing their songs its very possible that they'll have huge success and carry on touring.

    The spice girls will have no impact what so ever

    Maybe, maybe not-but Spice girls have already sold out all their shows, meaning new dates have been added.

    Plus their reunion was highly publicised. Compared to the restrained announcement via Westlife.

    I seem to recall the Spice Girls attempted a reunion several years ago and it fell flat on its face. They aborted a planned tour due to low sales. Wondering what’s so different this time?! It seems well publicised this time round anyway. I guess it’s all about the marketing.

    All about making mega bucks from idiots paying top dollah to see a bunch of has-beens.

    It’s their choice i know, but this stuff never fails to perplex me.

    Gerry Ryan was the highest earner ever on 2fm, he got something like £600,000 a year 10 years ago if I remember correctly?

    Apparently they made their money after a few shows, then cancelled the rest.

    This time they're really pushing it, because many of them are now broke. (Mel B had a very expensive divorce as well as as highly publicised spending spree that left her broke).

    They are lucky that Nostalgia for the 90's is huge right now & they will make loads of cash this time!

    One of the Ryan children

    Who was that one that was trying to become a singer.

    That does not seem to have worked so she needs a chance at something else.
