Former presidential hopeful Peter Casey
Laura Slattery, in The Irish Times, reports:
Peter Casey, the candidate in October’s presidential election, is recording a series of “individual reports” for Newstalk, the radio station owned by Denis O’Brien.
However, a spokesman denied that he was being given his own regular show or that he was a potential replacement for the weekend slot vacated by George Hook.
Mr Casey, who finished second in the presidential election with 23 per cent of the vote, is understood to be authoring several 15-20 minute segments for the Communicorp station, which will run across its main weekday shows.

Ah jaysus. Can he not bugger off back to the states and start mouthing off there?
I can’t remember who but some woman on the Marian Finucane show called this exactly during the election.
He so closely resembles Frank Kelly sometimes that it is uncanny.
I will not have him mentioned in the same breath as the gentleman that was the late Frank Kelly! But yeah, kinda…
hint of Bill Murray there as well, no?
here, he looks like the avuncular version of Frank Kelly without all the makeup in the rocking chair, when Ted was having second thoughts about going to America.
Well with Hook and Williams both gone, there is quite a large gap in the angry-middlea-ged-man-talking-about-how-it-really-is that does need to be filled. There has been a lack of controversial statements from NT presenters over the last while

Middle – aged? A bit more senior than that surely!
His lack of articulation and general inability to speak clearly make him perfect for newstalk.
He’s brutal. That Late Late Show interview was execrable–both he and Ryan were appalling, for different reasons.
Looking forward to not bothering to tune in to that.
That used to be a joke, that he would get a job on Newstalk.
The more of these ball sacks they put on newstalk the more i feel sorry for sean moncrief.
