Has anybody noticed that the interviewer - I think it's Cathal Mac Coille always breaths loudly into the mic. It didn't bother me until somebody mentioned it. Now its really annoying.

Re: Morning Ireland - Heavy breathing!
It ruins the interview, I was tempted to phone RTE
. Surely somebody has said it to him .

I posted about this here two years ago.
It is worst when he is doing a telephone interview.
It is worse earlier in the morning and improves the nearer to nine we get.
I often wonder if there is any sound engineer present at that hour.
It happens with other MI presenters as well but Cathal Mac Coille is the worst.
It is also worse when he is clearly bored with the topic.
Ive never heard any problems with Five Seven Live or the Sunday Review Programme. This seems to be a specific MI issue?
This heavy breathing, snarling, coughing, snorting and paper shuffling is very annoying and unprofessional imho.

Matt Cooper used to do the same on The Last Word.
While he was listening to the interviewee you could hear him breathing through his nose. And once you notice it, you can hear nothing else.
But he does seem to have stopped - someone must have mentioned it to him.

Yes, the snorting & the paper shuffling. Had forgotten about those!

I always found that on Morning Ireland one of the presenters would click their pen whilst interviewing via phone, it came across as being not that interested in what was being said by the interviewee.
On the sports side, I really hate the phrase 'crashed out of....' like crashed out of Wimbleton or some cup or other, especially if the 'crashee' only narrowly lost and was not subject to a spectacular drubbing, as the word crash would imply. Newstalk are the main offenders.

Think you're probably right about the production values - don't know a huge amount about it but as a recording musician, I know a bit.
Even live, it's not that difficult to control unwanted background (or even foreground) noise with noise gates, switches etc.

Not outrageous but annoying. We all breath through our noses admittedly, but we are not all radio presenters who sit with their nose very close to a very sensitive mic.

Another telephone interview was destroyed by incessant very loud paper shuffling this time by the female presenter on Morning Ireland yesterday morning.
I never notice this on any other radio shows such as the "news at one" or the evening news programme.

I think a lot of these comments are a bit sick. Surely the contentof the programme is more important than the odd cough etc. Surely hope all the relevant partners have no such habits!

On friday morning it was incessant paper shuffling during telephone interviews. Why does this happpen on Morning Ireland far more frequently than on other RTE 1 news prograrammes?

On Monday morning last Cathal was back to his old habit of wheezing, loud breathing and paper shuffling during telephone interviews. It sounds to me that there was no sound engineer on duty to monitor such telephone interviews.
This ongoing problem with telephone interviews and morning Ireland demonstrate a certain lack of respect by RTÉ for its listenership.
Anyway by Tuesday the focus had shifted to "nasal congestion" of a different sort!
