I am deeply saddened by the death of Marian Finucane .She was the voice of reason on the national airwaves for 40 years. Fair, welcoming ,reassuring , trusting and trusted , charming yet inquisitive she was a unique broadcaster. RIP.

Larry Gogan RIP From ‘Just A MinuteQuiz” to the Golden Hour Larry was the soundtrack of our lives from the 1960s-2020s.I visited him ten days ago , he was in his usual great form with his loving family,his beautiful honeyed voice,the quick wit and deep intelligence shone through.

If Ireland in all it’s generosity,progress,creativity,joy , heartbreak and exuberance over the last sixty years had a voice , it would be the dulcet, challenging,bemused questioning reassuring voice of Gay Byrne. We as a country are all the better for his life. R.I.P. #gaybyrne.

Was deeply moved when Michéal came to my mother Mabel’s funeral 2 years ago .Tommy texted me 10 days ago about an item on @rteliveline - he was helpful and knowledgeable as ever. If public service broadcasting rests on 2 strong shoulders ,they are these
Hard to take this in. What a sad day for RTÉ. Two great broadcasters have passed away -Michéal O Muircheartaigh and Tommie Gorman. Lucky to have them as colleagues. Two remarkable men who lived life to the full, and whose achievements should be celebrated. Rest Peacefully lads.

Liveline listeners telling us their jaws dropped when Minister Ryan said Dublin is at a tipping point where “ cycling and walking will become the mainstream way of travelling in the capital! Population 1.6 million. No metro. Raining. @rteliveline.
With a ban on private cars and commercial vehicles travelling through Dublin city centre to be in place by August, Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan says there will soon be a tipping point where cycling will become the main form of transport.

Sean Rainbird of @ngi just referred to me on @RTERadio1 in a sneering tone as “ the pensioner who presents Liveline “. I am not a pensioner , so like most people will have to pay €17 to our “ free admission “ National Gallery for paintings paid for by generations of taxpayers.
