The RTÉ stars aren’t saying much about Gerry Ryan’s coke habit. You’d think they would be pleased with the inquest findings, as now they know for sure that Gerry wasn’t taken before his time, as was often stated back in May. No, he wasn’t taken before his time at all; his heart was probably one day away from bursting into flames.

Friends defend Gerry’s memory

…veteran broadcaster Gay Byrne said that the inquest was a ‘double blow’ for the Ryan family. “I just think it’s all very sad. “I feel very sorry for them that they’re living through this agony now twice. It’s terrible for them. I’m very sad about the whole thing,” he added.

Eamon Dunphy once remarked of a Garth Crooks Sven-Göran Eriksson interview that it was the first time he had seen sex between two men on the BBC. Well here’s Pat Kenny and Gay Byrne having sex on the RTÉ, specifically the Late Late Show tribute to Gerry Ryan. Pat names Wogan, Byrne and Ryan as the ‘holy trinity’ of Irish broadcasting, although half way through his sentence Pat seems to forget that he was supposed to be complementing coke fiend Gerry. He instead drifts into an asslicking session with Gay. It’s a tender display of love between the two. If there’s one thing Gay likes, it’s being reminded how great he is, and Pat does his best to please master. All that’s left is for Gay to undo a few buttons on his shirt, flop out his breast and give Pat a bitty. Look at Gay adjusting his tie as he purrs with delight. Jesus these RTÉ personalities aren’t half up their own holes. Joe Duffy does a lot of blathering on throughout the clip; the man is unrivalled when it comes to producing guff.

Yes, good. Good.
