He’s insufferable. If you were doing a satire show to take the piss out of a news reporter. He would be exactly the type of character you’d create to lampoon them. And as far as I can tell, he’s serious.
The kind of chap who will be on your screen for the next 30 years who RTE will then try and laud as some sort of journalistic/broadcasting legend when he steps away upon reaching pension age.
Not to mention that ridiculous accent he has. I take it he’s from Munster.
He’s trying to portray some swagger lately, and he just looks ridiculous attempting to pull it off because he’s a nerd. His resting smirk face and these manic hand movements are also very irksome, especially when he’s talking about some banal interaction between FFG negotiating teams.
I concur with you, terribly annoying. Accentuated when carried out by what you’d suspect is an un-funny fucker. Hard to envisage a couple of hours pinting with Micheál.
The practice is gathering traction though, they’re all at it.
Not sure if it belongs in the Frehill thread but did anyone hear Kieran Mullooly on six one earlier?
He was reporting on those homeless drugs death in Tullamore and outside the hotel he opens by saying here in Athlone there was tragedy in the hotel behind me or something like that. . He corrected himself in the next sentence shoehorning the fact this happened in Tullamore, but ffs they can’t even do the basics.
They should just call Mullooley the Flood and Bog Correspondent as the only interesting news that comes from the Midlands usually relates to these two topics.
Let me tell you, this new hairstyle on Kate Egan reading the evening news is a gamechanger. The already luscious Kate is looking more foxy by the week.
