GER GILROY, THE managing director and long-time host of Newstalk’s Off The Ball, is to join RTÉ in a move that is set to shake up Ireland’s sports broadcasting landscape.
RTÉ announced on Monday that Gilroy will join the RTÉ Podcasts team to present a daily sports podcast that will launch later this year.

Hugh Ormond, head of RTÉ Podcasts, added: “We are really excited to work with Ger because of his obvious on-air charisma and his standing in the sports community – but also his innate understanding that love of sport is rooted in stories, characters, opinions and humour.
