    Ok, Giles says "Liam knows more about it than I do"
    Great.
    So, all D'Arcy has to do is agree that the qualified Sound Op, who is most likely being paid anyway to be there, should take over the controls and make the Ray D'Arcy Show sound totally professional from that point of view.
    D'Arcy could be just like Giles in that respect.

    The staffing in RTE is there for this not to be a problem. D'Arcy's own stubbornness and arrogance seems to be the problem here.
    It's unnecessary, that's all.

    It seems somebody has added a couple of extra notes for Ray...

    We're sorry Jenny,did Ray run home yesterday with his confidence dented?. He snuck into work by the back door,first thing he said was a sigh,missed numerous ad links,bored the bejesus out of us about the cost of making copper coins,moaned about the cost of a €1.02 bowl of a soup and allegedly parachuted in his own team.

    I think the 500k a year is enough padding to make sure it doesn't get dented. ;)

    RTE recently sent it's new chairman, Moya Doherty, into an Oireachtas Committee on Communications to start a new round of lobbying for the introduction of the Broadcasting Charge, with maybe a nice little increase to the cost of the current licence fee.

    Comments like the above illustrate why RTE probably can't be trusted with public money and Ms. Doherty should be sent packing.

    It's not about Ray D'arcy. It's about Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1. Why not set up a thread discussing your personal hatred for him? The levels of comments in here are borderline Youtube.

    I don't have a personal hatred of him, and you'll never find any comments from me on items he has had on running.

    You seem to have put him on a very high pedestal.

    Don't have him high on the pedal stool at all.

    I love his show. He's himself. Listen to Ian Dempsey or Will Leahy. It's like they've read a book on "how to present on the radio".

    Apparently the canteen has now rounded the soup up to 2 quid to help pay his wages.

    I have no contact with rtebut to be fair to them Rte are not responsible for the possible introduction of a broadcasting charge . That's within the remit of the Government . Ms Doherty attended the committee solely in her role as chairman of a state body. As to why they've decided to pay Mr D'arcy - that's a commercial decision based on attracting a lot more than they'll spend - simple economics .

    I'd be interested to see a link to that, I've seen nothing to indicate that the Broadcasting Charge would be higher than the current License Fee, yet I've seen plenty to indicate that it would be lower than the current charge.

    Don't think he could make it any more painful to listen to if he tried.

    Ray appears disinterested and burned out. It could be a podcast from anytime in the last 5 years.

    truly sad

    Coincidentally, this guest sounds lively, enthusiastic, engaged , and enjoying herself. Living in Canada probably helps though

    D'Arcy seems very uncomfortable with giving up a couple of minutes to the Nuacht

    It's Emma Donoghue. She's a fantastic writer.

    Her best selling book 'Room' has been made into a film so I presume she's on the promotional trail for the movie. She also has a new book out - Frog Song.

    She's great craic and an excellent writer.

    Ray is making a hames of interview though.

    Her comment about her Irish language skills were quick witted and funny. Maybe Ray could pick up a few pointers about what makes lively, enjoyable radio
