This may sound very corny to some people, but I really believe that you should acknowledge and thank those people who help you along the path of life:

• EAMONN COOKE, founder of Radio Dublin, for my very first chance to broadcast;
• HUGH HARDY, founder of Radio Carousel, Dundalk, for my first 'paid' job in pirate radio;
• EDDIE CAFFERY. Boyneside Radio, Drogheda, for the fun of Radio Rainbow International Short Wave;
• SAMMY PRENDERGAST, Liberty 104, Dublin, for the job opportunity to return to Dublin, my home city;
• LOUIS HOGAN, RTÉ Millennium Radio, Dublin, for my first job in 'legal' radio;
• MARTIN BLOCK, Capital Radio 104.4FM, Dublin, for the chance to work on Ireland's first legal commercial radio station;
• GWEN STEPHENSON, Esat Digifone, Ireland, for the chance to work in a completely different medium;
• BRENDAN, PAUL & WALTER, Premier FM, for the chance to come back to radio and do it again;
• GUS COLLINS, O2 Communications - thanks for a memorable 9 years!
