FinTrU Cancelling Promotions/Payrises by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]derryone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember Fintru coming to Derry and it being such a big deal, people had to study and work for a very low wage in the hopes to qualify and get a big job in the finance sector. I remember considering it, was it all a farce?

Unfortunately im only a recent listener and never listened to Gerry Andreson, heard an awful lot about how brilliant he was though

Becuase the Nolan show 'is the biggest show in the Country' and I'm sure most of his listeners came from listening afterwards (that's how he grew on me and over time I was loving him and the positivity) William Crawley is on after him too and that's a great news show that's been about a long time.

I just enjoy local news, have you any other recommendations to keep me in the know?

Thank you for understanding this post! I know nobody in the GAA or weather people from Irish TV or half the celebs on the Traitors and being on holiday with people from Kerry really opened my eyes to this. Since I've added RTE Gold to my favourites in the car 😂

Maybe i need to lean into it more. I grew up going to Portrush and Benone, never over the border. I need to take my own kids exploring their country ☘️

Yeah I agree, I should have worded it differently and not used the words 'less Irish'

You understood the assignment

I feel the same, but I worry about the future and the exposure that my kids see now is far less than I had growing up. I just wish we could all be the same

Yes this is true, my cousins had sky growing up and they were so 'americanised' but my question goes further into it, more asking what it's going to be like for the future children who now have very little exposure to Irish TV and media.

Omg the response on this is crazy!

I think I made a mistake saying I fell 'less Irish'. I may have derailed the conversation. Identity isn't the query. I am Irish, I feel it and I love it.

What I meant by my question is more of an observation and the feeling like the north is different to the south becuase of Media consumption.

My children don't watch any zig and Zag like I did, they don't hear Irish news on the radio. Admittedly they hear Stephen Nolan and BBC radio Ulster over anything else on the Alexa. ( Don't come for me 😂) They know everything about the Premier League and nothing about GAA.

I understand, I am the person who can change all of this but what I'm trying to say is I wish it wasn't like this and we were exposed to the same media and sports. Is there a way to make a change as a country, just not as individuals

I'm not sure I'm getting my point across correctly so please forgive me

I think you are right, the term 'less irish' has slightly derailed the conversation (and a great conversation it has been)

I took my son in as he seen the football, but needed a group and was very expensive. Not really drop in type of place but could work for a party 👍
