Brendan Courtney: Speculation over Tubridy show 'frustrating'

Presenter says he became 'slight collateral damage' after stint on RTÉ radio show 'turned into a live audition in front of the nation'

Brendan Courtney says Oliver Callan was 'the right person' to get the radio show job.

Presenter Brendan Courtney has said speculation around whether he would take over from Ryan Tubridy’s radio show full time was “one of the most frustrating experiences of my life". 

Mr Courtney felt he became "slight collateral damage" when he stepped in to present the 9am show on RTÉ Radio One after Mr Tubridy’s sudden departure following the payments controversy last year.
