RTE legend Joe Duffy praises callers as he presents his final Liveline

Veteran broadcaster Joe Duffy has presented his final episode of RTE’s iconic phone-in show, Liveline, bringing to a close a distinguished 27-year tenure at the helm. During his last broadcast on Friday afternoon, the Ballyfermot native paid tribute to the callers who have shaped the programme over the decades.

Mr Duffy, 69, is stepping down after 37 years with the national broadcaster. His long-running show, Liveline, has become a pivotal reflection of Irish life, serving as a unique forum for everyday grievances, facilitating the reunion of long-lost family members, and playing a crucial role in exposing societal injustices.
