RTE launch new segment to fill sporting void on Morning Ireland

With hardly any sport taking place across the world, news organisations are struggling to come up with sport bulletins.

Last Friday, it was announced on air that there would be no sport reports on RTE Radio One's Morning Ireland because there was so little going on.

But Darren Frehill and the team at Donnybrook have come up with a new segment to fill the sporting void.

Each morning they will look back at a famous sporting moment and are asking listeners to send in requests.

It started this morning with John Treacy’s performance at the 1984 Olympics when he won a silver medal.

Explaining the idea, Frehill said on Twitter: "We're looking for your favourite sporting moments on @morningireland as we revisit great occasions and big talking points. Get in touch with us and we'll dig out archive and bring you down memory lane. Lets keep the sport conversation going."
