PARTING SHOT

Do you have what it takes to fill Joe Duffy’s boots?

That is the question that RTÉ is asking members of the public, as it invites expressions of interest for a new presenter position at Radio One.

Duffy, who’s been manning the Liveline hot seat since 1999, announced he’ll retire at the end of June after nearly four decades with the broadcaster.

A recommendation from the Government’s expert advisory committee and the RTÉ’s New Direction strategy says that station bosses should look for outside talent. The talent call mentions a vacancy for the Liveline programme.
