Sharon ni Bheoláin. A dreadful newsreader. I for one don’t think Sharon should replace Anne Doyle. Judging on competence alone, Sharon should be relegated to the radio. Judging on looks, as most people seem to do when it comes to female presenters, Sharon is nothing special. Is Brian Dobson going to be forced out by some young tanned Latino stud in briefs? Not likely.
Katie Holly, some dimwit with a bit too much time on her hands, has ‘immortalised’ Sharon in song. According to the Evening Herald, Katie’s bullshit song is a youtube hit. 2,339 views in little under two weeks. Two thousand. As much of a hit as buttered arse, it seems.
She’s the undisputed queen of the RTE newsroom — and now she’s been immortalised in song.
A ballad praising Six One newsreader Sharon Ni Bheolain has become a YouTube hit, but its lyrics are sure to raise eyebrows in the Montrose newsroom.
The Ballad of Sharon Ni Bheolain pays tribute to the blonde gaelgeoir, but also suggests that it is time she took the 9 o’clock anchorwoman crown from veteran Anne Doyle.
Songwriter Katie Holly certainly seems to think so. While describing Anne Doyle as “a fine woman for her age”, the song urges the Wexford native to “vacate her throne” in favour of her younger colleague.
The Herald can reveal the Cork singer-songwriter’s catchy song has attracted 2,339 views since it was uploaded on the video website on January 17.
