Donncha O’Callaghan is reportedly set to leave RTÉ 2FM, following a number of shock departures in recent weeks.
The presenter currently hosts the station’s breakfast show with Carl Mullan and Aifric O’Connell.
The show recently underwent a refresh following Doireann Garrihy’s shock exit from 2FM, with Aifric taking her place on the popular programme.
Donncha is now set to follow suit, just weeks after Jennifer Zamparelli and The 2 Johnnies also decided their time at the station had come to an end.
According to The Irish Sun, the 45-year-old will host his final 2FM Breakfast at the end of the month — exactly one month after Doireann left the show.
A source told the publication: “How can 2FM Breakfast replace first one, now two presenters?”
“The most important show on a radio station is the breakfast. If listeners tune in, they stay with the station for the rest of the day. I don’t see how 2FM Breakfast can survive this.”
Referencing 2FM boss Dan Healy, they continued: “I wouldn’t like to be in Dan’s shoes. With so many presenters leaving, ultimately the responsibility rests with the boss.”
A Montrose source added: “2fm has gone into a complete spiral. It’s carnage. The staff are panicked because we are losing another star presenter.”
“There have been more emergency meetings. There is a huge amount of fear in the office among staff. What is happening to our station?”
Goss.ie has reached out to RTÉ and Donncha O’Callaghan for a comment.
The news comes amid reports Lottie Ryan is set to be axed and replaced by a TikTok star in 2FM’s Drivetime slot.
The radio host recently took over the Drivetime show from The 2 Johnnies, after they announced they would be leaving 2FM last month.
Lottie, who is the daughter of the late 2fm broadcaster Gerry Ryan, is reportedly feeling “betrayed” and “used” following the decision.
According to the newspaper, TikTok star Kayleigh Trappe is being lined up to replace Lottie as soon as this Friday.
An insider told The Irish Sun: “Lottie was the face of the new 2FM summer schedule but she was really only covering Drivetime for a month.”
However, it was business as usual for the RTÉ presenter and her co-host David O’Reilly as they greeted listeners at the top of their Drivetime show on Monday afternoon.
Lottie didn’t address this story when she took to the airwaves, and is yet to comment on the reports.
