Team shots of RTÉ’s General Election 2016 team.
Providing comprehensive election coverage on telly.
And the wireless, of which RTÉ’s Laura Fitzgerald promises:
From today, RTÉ Radio 1 takes to the road to meet voters across the country and highlight the issues affecting homes in every corner of Ireland starting from this evening with a live programme from An Taoiseach’s hometown – Castlebar, Co. Mayo.
Drivetime with Mary Wilson and Today with Sean O’Rourke will broadcast live from 17 constituencies over the next three weeks, from Letterkenny to Castleisland and from Ashbourne to Nenagh, holding to account the men and women seeking election to the 32nd Dáil Éireann.
Drivetime’s team of reporters, including Olivia O’Leary, will also be on the ground across the country throughout Election 2016, following candidates and exploring the local stories that will influence voters’ decisions. Morning Ireland will be on the road with the Party Leaders all throughout the Election and feature probing interviews and analysis.

Fair and balanced? From RTE? Not a hope in Hell of that happening.
It’s a great headline, though
This is what 2 million in license fee money looks like.
Exactly what was running through my grey matter…
13, unlucky for some.
A faker’s dozen.
Oh Bertie!
Have you ever seen a greater collection of FG-ers in one photo ever?
Don’t forget the few silver spoon south side socialists. ssssssssss
The finest collection of dinner party Trots you are ever likely to meet can be found in RTE.
Second pic?
So fair and balanced that a party with 12 councillors, running 40 candidates nationally, and polling around or above Renua, PBP/AAA and SocDems has been excluded from the debates. Right…
Who dat then?
The Greens.

Oh, thanks…
Ugh
Presumably Miriam will be handling the whole “tragedy” end of the Election?
Genuinely
I’m surprised Ray D’arcy didn’t demand a role for himself and his wife…
more like Ray’s wife demanded a role for Ray and herself!
Is she a birrova weapon? Wha?
She’s the professional and normal one, actually. I don’t know how she puts up with him.
Heard an interesting comment last night by a reporter on VB. The HSE scandal on ‘Grace’ and ‘Ann’ will be be ‘ buried’ due to election coverage by the media. Thats scary.
well I intend putting together a Count Commit’tay
any interested participants know how to contact me
Its all right Frilly love, don’t.
Jaysus Gavin Jennings is dishier than I expected
Is that the gender fluid lad
Some of the comments are unfairly negative but the age composition is a bit of a joke.
Claire Byrne at 40 is going to represent the ‘young’.
