There is no way Ray D'Arcy started out on Raidió na Gaeltachta!! He doesnt have a word of Irish...

-> He muttered something in Irish on the Rose of Tralee yesterday... something about the first Rose doing half of the work, in a typically goofy D'arcy move. Actually it would have been funny if the Rose tonight was determined not to let him past her, after all she was the famous rugby player.

[edit] partner/child

Include something about his partner/child?

There seems to be an editor who periodically adds items on this topic. The changes are consistant with what is included on some Blogs, wikis, and message boards, but nothing to be considered as a verifiable source. These unverifiable changes are reverted. However if you can find a valid source to back up encyclopedic information, then I can see no reason not to include it!

I added a spot of info about his new child, but it was removed again. The name of his partner, Jenny Kelly, and baby, Kate, are public information and are repeatedly referred to on his radio show, and by other Today FM presenters, among others, as well as in the Irish print media. (However, thre is no other online reference that I can find to this at the moment.) If this is considreed libellous, then I can see the reason. However, as it stands, it's not libellous. Could someone explain the problem to me? Gsalter 12:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

• Can you supply a reliable source, as requested above? A newspaper article or news report would be great, but blog entries or forum posts are not acceptable. Demiurge 12:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The only sources that I can find are blogs, generally as part of random comment on the day's news. I can't get a newspaper link from news website archives- generally, gossip or trivia columns aren't sent to the web, as far as I can see. In any case, newspaper archives require login and may be copyrighted. Gsalter 12:57, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

• It doesn't matter if they're copyrighted or behind a login, since we're not copying the article, just using it to verify a fact. Demiurge 13:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

This is ridiculous, its common knowledge in Ireland and is mentioned on his radio show often.
