LATEST: Kildare's Ray D'Arcy to start surprise new project after RTE
D’Arcy’s sudden departure from RTÉ in October 2025 sent shockwaves through the station’s radio division
Kildare-born broadcaster Ray D’Arcy is set to return to broadcasting next week with the launch of a new podcast, Ray D’Arcy Daily.
The show will air Monday to Friday and feature conversations with D’Arcy’s family and friends.
The news was shared by his wife, Jenny Kelly, who posted a preview trailer on social media earlier today. In the clip, D’Arcy describes his return to broadcasting as “inevitable.”
D’Arcy’s sudden departure from RTÉ in October 2025 sent shockwaves through the station’s radio division.
The 61-year-old said at the time that he was “hugely disappointed” with RTÉ management over how his exit from Radio One was handled.
After 11 years with the station, he thanked colleagues, contributors and loyal listeners for their support.
His exit marked the beginning of a significant shake-up of the daytime schedule.
The first episode of Ray D’Arcy Daily will be released on Monday, March 9.
