Catriona looks like she got a new make up artist.

Given she was unnecessarily in Derry earlier this week, it may be the early onset of some disease or other

They seem to have kicked Sharon Tobin out of the studio and out onto the road doing reports. Pity that, I like Sharon reading the news.

She's alternated between both for a good while now.

I think everyone has to be prepared to do anything and everything these days!

I would have thought poor choice of outfit for Perry tonight. Trying to challenge Sharon?

I didn't think the outfit suited a prime time news programme.

What has what she wears got to do with anything? Do David McCullough's suits generate the same interest? No.

She is a journalist and a news presenter not a fashion model.

Whatever she wore, her interview with Mary Lou last night was terrible. She didn't challenge anything she said but gave her free rein to criticise the government without any question on what she would do.

Then it would be nice if she acted like a news presenter and dressed accordingly.

Nothing wrong with McCullough that a hair cut wouldnt fix!

How should a female news presenter dress? Is there a dress code that they are meant to follow?

Well my only point of reference is watching other news channels and I would have thought that business attire, just like the men would be standard.

It would take a lot more than a hair cut.

I don’t notice what other news women wear so that probably means you have a point.

I had always assumed the apparel is RTÉ property. Some of the stuff Sharon wears on the news can’t be what she wore going into work.

Maybe they are being told to “dress up”?

Honestly I don't know but I suppose I am consuming a lot of CNN these days and everybody, male and female looks well dressed. I am sure they have budgets for that.

I realize that not everybody will agree. I just thought it was a distraction that was taken away from the gravity of what yesterday was all about.

(says he who has hardly gotten dressed in a couple of weeks);)

I agree with with what you say - it should “business attire”.

What's with yer man McCullough and his lip smacking? Head wrecking.

Wrecks my head too, that and the looking down and the eyebrow gymnastics.

Think David McCullough looks like he’s lost weight lately. I’m not a big fan of him presenting the news. I think Ray Kennedy would have been a better choice. He seems to present it mostly at the weekend. One thing I notice about Caitriona Perry (apart from her extensive wardrobe) is that she always tries to get the last word in at the end of every bulletin.

I must admit I felt sorry for Emma O’Kelly (Education Correspondent) today. She was walking through a school, following a cameraman whilst recording her package, in the style of an episode of the West Wing, where everyone’s marching around the White House, discussing something with Jed Bartlet.

I think she’s a good reporter, but whoever suggested she walk around and record her report ought to be reminded they’re not there to be “creative”.

It was a bit of a disaster... The camera operator couldn't keep the camera steady. I felt a bit sea sick watching it

Catriona is wearing zebra-coloured high heeled shoes for this evening's bulletin.

Agree, McCullough seems to want to speak through his eyebrows , or from under his eyebrows.

Completely lacks any kind of presence that Kennedy and folks like Dobbo and even Eileen Dunne have.

Bad mistake.

Nevin Parsnipp · 17-12-2021 6:00pm

"Even Eileen Dunne" ???

Even for you Dude ...that's a bit low ...?

He often seems just bored with the whole thing to me.

Absolutely…just going thru the motions.

About as lively as a six day cow pat

Muahahaha · 17-12-2021 7:13pm

He definitely seems like he is just phoning it in. Though Id wonder why he left Prime Time for the 6.1, surely the easier number was Prime Time just two nights a week rather than a 6.1 schedule spread over 7 days

Personally I feel he is not a good performer in front of camera, seems much more comfortable as an academic or something like that.

Doesnt inspire any gravitas., bit like poor John Murray.. just reading stuff out.
