Labour party leader Eamon Gilmore spoke to Aengus Mac Grianna on this evening’s Six One News in light of Labour’s performance in the local and European elections.

He said:

“We have to renew Government. We have to renew what we’re doing in Government. We have to hear very clearly the squeeze that families are under and to address that….and the Labour party has to renew itself.”

When asked about his leadership he said:

“Well there’s no question about my leadership. I’ve taken on a responsibility and the responsibility we took on in Government we knew at the time was always going to be a difficult responsibility and I intend to discharge that responsibility and to continue doing so.”

[Screengrabs from tonight’s Six One News on RTÉ, showing the new design of the opening credit sequence. Tonight’s news was presented by Úna O’Hagan and sports presenter Evanne Ní Chuilinn, above]

The Irish Times reports:

“The refresh, which cost RTÉ about €25,000, also includes a reworking of composer Ronan Hardiman’s title music, which will become a little less thunderous and more upbeat. The bad news for sports presenters is that they will be standing up during midweek bulletins, not just on weekends. And one formality has been dispensed with altogether. The Six-One bulletin will no longer feature a booming voice-over man declaring “it’s Six-One, RTÉ News with . . .” as the camera pans the studio. “The ‘voice of God’, as we call it, is going,” said Hilary McGouran, managing editor of RTÉ television news.”
