Paddy McKenna: Radio head

RTÉ 2fm presenter, Paddy McKenna, knew a career as a crime reporter was not for him when his then bosses, at the Sunday World, suggested he go undercover with a recording device taped to his body to meet a Russian brothel owner.

“I said, ‘I’m sorry I can’t do this’. I just didn’t have the neck,” he says.

He switched to broadcasting, appearing on The Den as the news2day reporter, before moving into radio, where he presents Weekenders, with Ruth Scott, on Saturday and Sunday, from 2-5pm. He also fills in on the breakfast show.
