> When you have a researcher putting in up to 10 hours a day (and often many hours of what should be their rest time across weekends) in order to meet deadlines, on a take-home wage of less that €400 a week, working for a presenter who earns 20 times that amount — a star who presents a one-hour radio show, half of which is just observations and jaunty waffle, that’s not a wonderful place to work.
Very weird piece. Some valid points inserted into an obviously massive personal gripe with RTE.
so he left because roadcaster audio was bad? bit anti-climatic
He loves the auld purple prose, does Gareth.
I mean, he’s not broadly wrong or anything but being asked why you chose a studio over a roadcaster doesn’t have the same heft as covering up sneaky topup payments.
This was so fucking anti-climatic after the build up himself and D’Examiner made of it.
Thought it was gonna be something about coke fuelled orgies on the 6.1 news desk, instead we got “got called to a meeting and decided that was the straw that broke the camels back”
He could have at least named the 5 other people he claims he knew were coke heads other than Gerry Ryan
He’s a dryballs.
This reminds me of Eamonn Holmes taking down Philip Schofield.
O’Callaghan is scathing about Tubridy….

Take career advice from Uncle Gay
The same Uncle Gay that was conned out of £2m (about €6m in today’s money) in earnings?
Yeah him
Nah, you’re good
“Gay never discussed salary. He felt such money topics were vulgar and best kept private. His commitment was to his listeners, nothing else.”
Yea, me bollocks. Condescending cunt is all he was.
unlce fucking dickhead
I guess theres some things you don’t learn from book reading
Another Alan Partridge using any opportunity to grind old axes from twenty years ago
>A blame game is a sequence of digressive strategies, capable of changing the direction of blame.
Yes thanks Corporal Condescension.
Yer man O’Callaghan is full of shit. Delighted to try be relevant again with this
Worth reading?
This just reads as bitter. He is not wrong about researchers being overworked and underpaid but this just seems like a dig at an old work relationship that ended badly.
Poor old Dee Forbes being scapegoated for something she actually took part in and was responsible for? Gimme a break, the rest of the board should be out on their arse too though, he’s right there.
Anyone wanna summarise?
There’s a serious want in this lad.
Tripe
Gareth o Callaghan is never done appropriating things for himself, he’s a sad ego hungry bell end!! He needs to fuck off!
He spent his days in 2fm ripping off Steve wrights bbc r2 show item for item!
Man’s a sad dickhead
