MARIAN FINUCANE, who only broadcasts four hours a week, does not believe anybody is worth her salary of over €500,000.

The presenter did not seek to defend her salary when talking to freelance journalist, Sue Leonard, about her new book on 12 of her Saturday radio interviews.

The Marian Finucane Show on RTÉ Radio 1 is the highest-rating weekend radio show in Ireland and Finucane was one of the top four, best-paid presenters in 2009.

Finucane earned fees of €513,270 in 2009, down 10% from €570,000 the previous year.

Nobody worth €500k a year, says Finucane (Irish Examiner)

I’ve just seen your Irish freerunning post, though this might interest you. I’ve just finished a video for Irish band Susie Soho that also contains a little bit of freerunning. Didn’t get to include as much of the footage as I’d have liked, but these lads (the runners) are great.

“This burgeoning movement is more than a protest, more than an occupation, and more than any tactic. The “us” in this movement is far broader than those who are able to participate in physical occupations. The movement is everyone who sends supplies, everyone who talks to their friends and families about the underlying issues, everyone who takes some form of action to get involved in this civic process.”
