What kind of house has he that he couldn't afford the mortgage on €450,000 every year?

And what about Jenny's wages ?;)

I think he knows...a middle aged lad like himself with bits falling off.

Good man Dylan

Hold a mirror up to his rediculousness

Seen Dylan Moran a couple of times performing...he's very funny. But this is a joyless interview.

Ray D'Arcy bullet points for interview

- Drink
- Climate change
- Novel


Dylan Moran as much as said ... I don't do interviews because its just repeating the same toss ad finitum....and he has skillfully batted away every 'probing' question from D'Arcy.

Mena Mitty

Delighted he told Ray he doesn't talk about his kids, he doesn't talk about his kids, he doesn't talk about his kids. It's a pity he had to say it 3 times...but I think it registered with the host...eventually.

Perhaps Ray could take a leaf out of Dylan's book sotospeak.

Dont build up our Hope's;)

That's hard to believe, even after tax Ray'd be taking home a very handsome annual income. Either they're living in some multi million mansion or spending waay too much. Maybe Ray will have to give up the fancy clothes. But either way, no way he'll pull in that sort of money as an aging wedding DJ. I'd be thinking there's more than a bit of exaggeration in that report.

have to say the girl who commited suicides mother didnt impress me , shes from a rough part of cork and seemed to have alot of the bad qualities of lower class people who get a few quid

I'm sure the unfortunate woman won't lose any sleep at not impressing you. Frankly, I find your comment disgusting to say the least! Perhaps you'd enlighten us all on where you consider to be the 'rough part of Cork' and what 'the bad qualities of lower class people are'?

I would like to compliment the lady in question on her very eloquent interview with Darcy, I found it honest, compelling and very sad. I look forward to reading her book and wish her and her family all the best for the future.

Darcy would put tears on a wedding cake !. Can you imagine him at a joyous occasion like a wedding

stand by what i said -

Yeah, well Ray, you promised us all that you were going to leave this country, so how about a bit of respect and keeping your promise.

Why does newsreader Eileen Dunne say this to Ray D'arcy for the handover after the 3pm Radio 1 news and weather?

I notice she does not say this to other radio presenters, such as Lorcan Murray on Lyric FM which does be her next bulletin.
Is this some sign of obvious favouritism for Ray D'arcy??

Eileen Dunne is usually professional and formal as a newsreader and I'm surprised she continues to say his name, ever since the Ray D'arcy show started a few years ago.

I’d say they probably get on well...remember her first news bulletin on Rays RTE 1 programme went along the lines of good to have you back

Haha you stand by what you said but you won't answer the questions asked.
Typical!

probably friends, Susan Keogh did this a lot when Louise Duffy was doing her shows rambling on about her opinons on GOT or the silly/celeb news part of her bulletin

Certainly contrasts with the relationship with the Nuacht crew anyway. First he gets them moved from their traditional 3.30pm slot, and now continues to be passive aggressive about handing over to them at 4.00pm.

She says: "And that's the news and weather, Ray"
And he says: "Tanx Eileen tank u very much"

This happens every day. I assume there's a reason, which I don't quite understand, why broadcasters engage in these repeated phrases. Marian Finucane does the same thing with her "Hello there, AND a very good morning to you". Anne Doyle was in the habit of signing-off by telling viewers of the 9 o'clock news to "Take care".

Perhaps it's a sort of signature that is intended to institutionalise the programme/ presenter in some way, i.e. to create a certain familiarity which draw people towards listening or watching? I don't really know.

Gives the impression you’re there in the studio with them/they are in your house (heaven forbid). I always remember when a friend was flown over to Newcastle for a lung transplant that was going ahead, Anne Doyle said something like “And we all wish him well”, it was very early in morning, I had been up all night, and nice to hear that she was soeaking on behalf of all in RTE/all of Ireland. A good omen, he went on to live an active life 25 years after that, having been on life support at the time. The radio hosts, when doing this kind of thing, create the sense of a rapport with the listener.

"Apologies to the Nuacht team" is another one he uses. Sometimes.

In fairness, that apology is entirely warranted.

Nobody has so butchered the first official language since the boyos from Clare College Cambridge
