Chris Murray: Paddy Muldowney was his name, he may have used Dave King on air. He died a few years ago, I remember the house it came from at Landsdowne valley in Drimnagh, My mother listened to it as she loved his Music & him reading the newspapers. I remember listening to him one day and he was looking for listeners to help pay for a leaky roof and if it wasn’t fixed he’d have to close the station, He was giving out a bank of Ireland account number that listeners could donate to, a few weeks later he got the roof fixed and a holiday to Spain :() :() Station was off the air for the two weeks
