Prime example of where the employee is bigger than the employer Best of luck Dave. One of the few good one's 👍🙏

Have RTE brought back their DAB service?

Dave doesn't belong on modern day 2FM but I'm glad he's not going away. I enjoy his weekend shows.

Ah no😢

Its because they are Male. Not many of them left of daytime radio on 2FM

It's good of RTÉ to fund Gold as a quasi retirement home for their DJs.

Oh Well

Still plenty of Dave to go around. Give him back his movie show rte

Nooooooo ah Dave xx
