It’s more of a failure of RTÉ to differentiate their Public Service Broadcasters from their Private Contractors. Although they have an abundance of Private Contractors nobody appears to be playing the system quite like Doireann.

You’d say something if she had talent
The Garrihy’s were always known as cute hoors well able to make a bit of money.
As the quote from the wire goes; “you think I have time to ask why he giving me money, or where he gets his money? I’ll take any motherfuckers money if he giving it away”
One of those stories are not like the others
Incredible [this](https://youtu.be/TxP_P6ClP-k) is considered “talent” for the national broadcaster.
They’re sacking her right? Right?
entitlement
I think between her and Lottie Ryan they are the biggest examples of getting the furthers in RTÉ through nepotism relative to the lack of talent they have. So you would think you’d have the self-awareness to realise you’re only in RTÉ due to being Ian Dempsey’s goddaughter not to be an absolute chancer but she really is pushing her luck here.
I think she’s pretty good on the radio but the amount of stuff she seems to be getting away with that’s listed here ain’t right.
