Thank God mcInerney didnt get it. Shes horrendous

I won't miss her.

Having Healy on NT and her on RTE was a nightmare.

It's a tough business.

She deserves a prime time slot for that outburst alone — she just said what we're all thinking.

Best bit of live radio I've heard in years. I'm way behind with the morning's jobs. Couldn't leave it!

Yes, I'm still listening, she really is excellent, what a ridiculous decision RTE have made

I think it's fair to say you're in a minority in that opinion, today anyway!

Personally can't stand her as no sense of humour..

Jaysus is right. The love in this morning for Sarah...I think she's good overall, but let's not lose the run of ourselves. As Brendan B said, it's pretty much an open goal for her to score this morning.

I actually meant the whole programme today, in general (and it's not even half over yet) - but yes!

What promoted the "Jesus"?

She went to an ad break, and missed the mike being turned off by a split second

Pretty intense before that, thought she was off air.

Ah Heidi is it yourself?!

That much I guessed (lol), what preceded it? Had she some waffling politician on?

That Id have to disagree with, she's on a roll today and it's obvious she's enjoying her last show and with a sense of amusement, brilliant stuff

Howya, BS - long time no see!!

She had almost a full hour of full-tilt all sorts, and managed it brilliantly.

I'm only surprised it wasn't "FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK"

HeidiHeidi

Did she say who's on The Gathering today?


I bet they're licking their lips in anticipation!

On a roll!!!!!

Even Charles Mitchel could have made todays show exciting ffs, given the material available ,and the amount of gimps lining up to have kick at the wounded beast.

Even brendan would admit there's real talent here

Perhaps it's an open goal, but have you heard Pat Kenny today? Didn't hit the mark at all, very disappointing. McInerney is proving herself to be in another league. The respect is well-deserved IMO.

As usual I listened in to the first hour of PK - and disappointed is exactly what I was.



Chalk and cheese, I thought PK's rottweiler instincts would shine in this case. Maybe that's down to the researchers/producers?

Not one thing in particular, just that she spent 45 minutes jumping from one person to another on full throttle, no time for a break or to relax, in the middle of which Buttimer resigned.

It's a bit like getting 20 7 year old kids out of your house after a 6-hour birthday party. The last one goes, you flop on the couch and go - "Jayzus".

Yep. He should be in his element here but he's mewing like a slightly-perturbed pussycat. Very strange. He barely even seems bothered lately.

Lately, yes. Pat just isn't putting the effort in these days. He isn't his usual self.

A little on the hyperbolic side caller? I've praised McInerney on here and elsewhere and she has certainly improved from her Newstalk days, but it's a little much lavishing such praise on her comparing her to Kenny's body of work.

Perhaps it's a case of he who pays the piper calls the tune? Pat is in his 70s now, I'd not be surprised if he's relaxing a little.......

Anyone got a clip of Sarah McInerney's "sigh"?

Of course I would, she’s very good, The Brenner never said anything against her, just trying to put things in context and dampen down the sudden upswell of tumescence which seem to have descended on your platform,Ty.

She did very well,and deserves a slot somewhere in the same field on RTE.

Hope that’s a fair evaluation.

Brendan Bendar

Ooooh........ Reggie is going to have her hands full here.

The negative line up is in place..... the auld VB tactic.

At least they have a performer on the govt side.

Let’s see how Sarah leans.....heh heh

mojesius

Boyd-barrett will have a field day here

Infoanon

Regina reading the mood of the people or aiming for FF VP?

Surprised Regina going after Hogan with such strong vigour

ednwireland

regina doherty throwing everyone under the bus there. rbb having a field day.

Yeah the first hour of Pat this morning was very poor considering....
Sarah playing a blinder here, great radio.

This is radio gold, "I'm coming at this as a mammy" o Regina, you grabbed the bait, forget about the bus, she's just thrown Education minister under a Bulldozer

Immensely classy sign off from her today

So by that measure no one can improve? Many of the comments in her favour have said she has much improved since the Newstalk days.

KevRossi

The next crisis won't be too far away, it will be interesting to see how Claire Byrne responds to it compared to Sarah McInerney. Her first hour today should be compulsory listening for any media studies student, or any budding journalist. She was interrupting a lot, but IMO she was prempting some waffle that they usually come out with. Kept a fast moving and fast changing story going at full titlt.

The bar has been set for Claire Byrne, lets see if she can reach it.

Edit: And Sarah Mc was quite gracious to CB in her sign off.

TenLeftFingers

There couldn't be a more RTÉ end to Sarah's excellent run than Ronan Collins pausing for the Angelus!

Yer a gobshyte!

Always wanted to say that and this is a close as I'll get :pac:

FixdePitchmark

In fairness - she kind of grew on me.

I think at the start she was a bit over zealous - but she was growing into it.

Clare Byrne is suffering from a bit of over exposure.

Is this tv and radio idea a bit dated from RTE ?

TCDStudent1

Any show I can listen to about politics now? All stations seem to have stupid light entertainment shows on at the moment! Do I have to wait until Rte 1o'clock news for next fix?
