The programme was at the heart of the bitter dispute between Nova boss Chris Cary and the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), which began in 1984 after presenters of the programme were sacked without proper notice or redundancy payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Mulryan&#8217;s book <em>Radio Radio<\/em> (1988) claims that Chris Cary was still concerned about <em>Dublin Today<\/em> in 1985, describing it as &#8216;claptrap&#8217; and &#8216;dangerous and subversive&#8217;. However, when the merger of Radio Nova and Energy 103 was announced in November 1987, an hour-long <em>Dublin Today<\/em> from 6-7pm was introduced, with an eye to the new broadcasting legislation.
