  • Excellent

    David interviews very interesting guests covering various topics of interest. Short segments; he asks great questions and allows his guest to speak on their area of expertise.

  • RTE Lag Way Behind Newstalk

    It’s been a few months since David McCullagh took over from Claire and it’s disappointing so far. McCullagh is a journeyman presenter like many but not good enough to present the flagship show. I have great difficulty believing that RTE are unable to find someone better. The production team are not helping with banal topics. Newstalk continues to lead.

  • Almost as bland as Claire Byrne

    David needs to up his game remove his FFG hat and start taking a more balanced approach to his show. He is in grave danger of out blanding the bland previous version of this series!

  • Phillip Boucher-Hayes on “Today”

    There can be no doubt that Phillip is the perfect replacement for Claire. His voice and intonation can be both serious and entertaining. Past master of the nuance and inflection. His style and quick wit brooks no bull when interviewing. He has that special quality called radio presence. Reminiscent of Pat Kenny in his glory days.

  • RTE - parroting Israeli lies

    I am disgusted how RTE now parrots Israeli propaganda, RTE now complicit in genocide, no doubt RTE are afraid of the litigious Zionist entity but tell the truth and report the facts without saying “Hamas run health department”, is Ireland’s healthcare system the “FG/FF run health system”.

    The people are boycotting RTE now more like the BBC who are censoring documentaries showing the horror of genocide in Gaza.

    Shame on RTE, more afraid of Israeli litigants than proper reporting.

How a proposed 400metre access route is dividing communities in Moyross

How a proposed 400metre access route is dividing communities in Moyross
Q: What is the current issue with the proposed 400-metre access route?
The route is seen as vital for educational access and linking Moyross to facilities, but residents fear it would worsen congestion and alter the dynamics of nearby estates, leading to a stalemate that requires more inclusive planning and consultation.
RTÉ Investigates: Heartbreaking cases of children in care
Q: What changes would you like to see to improve care for vulnerable children?
She stresses the need for faster assessments, expanded family supports, more early intervention funding, investment in residential and high-support units, and a focus on preventing trauma and deterioration of children's situations, with overall reform toward a more responsive, well-resourced system.
RTÉ Investigates: Heartbreaking cases of children in care
Q: Why is the system not working for them?
Tanya Ward outlines that while there are positives in some areas, there are significant gaps such as social work shortages, slow assessments, and insufficient family and addiction/mental health supports, which together delay and sometimes deny crucial help for vulnerable children.
Blank canvas to dream garden: Transforming outdoor space for families in a Meath housing estate
Q: Yeah, and Kerrie, these are quite small spaces, they're quite compact. So is that more of a challenge as well?
Absolutely; the compact spaces demand careful planning, efficient use of vertical space, and selective editing of ideas to ensure the final design remains practical and striking within constraints.
