Carr Communications

RTÉ presenter Bunny Carr dies aged 91

He was best known for his presenting roles for the national broadcaster.

RTÉ PRESENTER BUNNY Carr has died at the age of 91. 

The television personality presented a number of shows on the national broadcaster including Quicksilver, Going Strong and The Politicians.

He left RTÉ in the 70s to take up a role as Director of the Catholic Communications Centre. His job there included duties such as teaching priests how to deal with the media.

Bunny then went on to set up his own PR firm, Carr Communications, a firm still operating today.

The show Quicksilver, which Carr was probably best known for, popularised the phrase ‘stop the lights’.

Many in RTÉ and the media have this morning been paying tribute to the popular presenter.

    My wife caught me watching porn the other night and started shouting at me.

    I stopped her and said, “You’re reading that 50 Shades of Grey. That’s just reading porn!”

    She replied, “No this book has a storyline to it.”

    “Yeah so does this, that busty MILF can’t afford to pay the plumber”

    Laura, personally I think it could have been a great story if the author actually had any writing skills.
    I kept getting distracted by the poor sentence structure and spelling errors. I also counted the phrase “long fingered hands” at least one per page!

I don’t think people learned anything new really from the books I think it was the content that shocked people more . ( it was like , ” did I actually just read that ?” .having said all that I wouldn’t be bothered with the the movie !
