History
The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show has been on air since September 1998 and originally broadcast until 10:00 but an extra hour was given to The Ray D'Arcy Show in 2004 to allow direct competition with RTÉ 2fm rival Gerry Ryan. Each year for that time period, i.e. ten years, Dempsey and the breakfast crew have gone skiing. In 2007, the show replaced Eamon Dunphy's RTÉ Radio 1 Sunday morning programme as the 10th most listened to programme in Ireland. Lucy Kennedy presented the show when Dempsey was absent on 18 July 2008.
In 2011, Sinéad O'Connor announced her fourth marriage live on the show.
