Liveline

Liveline

Liveline is an RTÉ radio interview and phone-in chat show. The programme tends to focus on a controversial current event and attempts to obtain the public's opinion on it.

In early August 2007 it ran a series of programmes focusing on the problems experienced by those who holiday abroad; scaring listeners with stories of the dangers of foreign resorts and the corruption of Turkish and other local police and warnings of grasping and unhospitable hotel managements. Equally, the poor behaviour of young Irish holiday makers was also highlighted.

It was originally presented and produced by Marian Finucane and Doireann Ní Bhriain, but is currently presented by Joe Duffy. Damien O'Reilly, Derek Mooney and Derek Davis occasionally stand in in the absence of Duffy. Well-known guests on the Friday show also include Brendan 'Brush' Shields and Brendan 'Doc' Savage.

It is currently broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 from 13.45 to 15.00 on weekday afternoons.
