Does anyone know what Trevor Keegan who used to be on the Afternoon show is doing these days?

Vincent Browne will be presenting TV3's coverage of the Budget next Wednesday from 3.30. I think this is the first time TV3 have broadcast the budget speech live - finally an alternative to Miriam and Mark.

I can't remember them covering the Dáil live at all before. TV3's coverage of breaking news in Ireland has been paltry ever since they have launched. On the otherhand, they have covered big American stories where they have been able to get a cheap feed from a US station.

They covered the speech by Brian Cowen in January about the pension levy, I think that was their first Dail live broadcast. They have improved their domestic political coverage, covering the local elections and the Lisbon treaty results. It's all because of Vincent Browne. I do hope there's not too many ad breaks.

ISTR they use CNN international and used to overlay their old tvthree NEWS DOG over the CNN logo.

Very dramatic stuff by Paul Gogarty TD in the Dail today. Priceless:
