Gerry Ryan A great Loss for Everyone

Since 1988 Ryan, a Dublin pioneer of pirate radio, had hosted a morning chat-and-music show on national broadcasters RTE. He also fronted numerous RTE television talk shows and celebrity interviews and was known for his irreverent, coarse humor.

Prime Minister Brian Cowen led tributes from all corners of Ireland's political and entertainment communities, lauding Ryan as "one of the greats of modern Irish broadcasting."

Gerard "Gerry" Ryan (4 June 1956 – 30 April 2010) was a veteran Irish full-time presenter of radio and part-time presenter of television employed by RTÉ. He presented The Gerry Ryan Show on radio station RTÉ 2fm each weekday morning from 1988 until his death.
