Gerry Ryan's daughter takes to the airwaves for first ever radio show

Lottie Ryan will present a weekend breakfast show from 6am.

LOTTIE RYAN WILL present her first ever radio show on 2fm tomorrow morning.

The daughter of the late Gerry Ryan will host ‘The Early, Early Breakfast Show with Lottie Ryan’, which will air Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6am.

She previously worked for the radio station as the showbiz reporter for The Colm Hayes show and in the same position for RTÉ’s live afternoon show The Daily Show from 2010 to 2012.

Commenting today, Ryan said she was “thrilled” to be getting her own show and joining the new schedule.

“It’s very exciting times ahead as 2fm evolves and I’m delighted to be a part of the team,” she said. “Whether you’re an early riser or only coming in from the night before – this will be the station you’ll want to listen to early mornings!”

Head of 2fm, Dan Healy said Ryan has a “strong and colourful personality” and “it’s not off the ground she licked that!”

The move is part of a general shake up in 2fm with a number of new presenters coming on board.

    She’s a supporter of Falun Gong. Tens of thousands of Falun Gong supporters have been killed since the nineties. Many have even had their organs taken for transplant, some have even been required to become living organ donors. The whole situation is appalling. Anyone who can publicise this or embarrass the Chinese government into stopping this oppression deserves some respect.

    If Miss World Pageant means what they say, they should move the event to another country which is not China and publicly condemn China’s attitude. This is their golden chance to put their money where their mouth is and prove that Miss World is not about the stereotype of some brainless bimbo saying that she wants world peace.

    We should definitely start lecturing China on human. They need to become as peaceful stable as Europe

    In fairness though, picking on a member of the Falun Gong movement is like picking on a Hari Krishna. As far a spiritual practices go it’s fairly harmless. The Chinese government dislike it purely because it offers “enlightenment” through oneself and not as part of a , government controlled, collective. They’re OK with religions that have a centralized power as it’s easy to influence a small few leaders and let their influence trickle down. The more complex the belief system the better. It’s almost impossible to influence individuals practicing very simple beliefs.

    I’m confused, why does she need a visa in the first place if she’s from China?

    She moved to Canada when she was 13. If she acquired Canadian citizenship then according to Chinese government rules, she automatically forfeits her Chinese citizenship.

    It’s not automatic. If you are entitled to another citizenship you can choose when you turn 18. Like a lot of Asian countries, China doesn’t allow dual citizenship.

    Organisers don’t have the balls to pull out of China. Disgraceful that they will consider it even with this kind of intimidation going on.
