Brian Carthy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Carthy works as a sports commentator for RTÉ,^[1] specialising in Gaelic games. In possession of a nationwide profile, Carthy has also written a number of books with a sporting theme.^[2]^[3] Carthy is a native of Ballymore, near Strokestown, County Roscommon.

In 2011, Carthy was "downgraded" by RTÉ. This prompted a response from numerous Gaelic games figures, including Mickey Harte, Kieran McGeeney and Justin McNulty, who felt this mistreatment of Carthy was unfair. Those who disagreed with RTÉ's treatment of Carthy wrote a four-page letter to director general Noel Curran and boycotted the organisation.^[4]^[5]
