Speaking to Morning Ireland ahead of his final Liveline, he addressed the rumours that he will run for President.

“I can see the Áras from Claddagh Green, that’s the closest I’ll ever get to it,” he joked, quickly ruling himself out of the position.

“I’m still a part of RTÉ effectively until Monday, so no. I won’t lose the run of myself… there’s some great names being mentioned so far.”

But he won’t be resting on his laurels now he’s officially retired from Liveline, don’t you worry.

In fact, he has already revealed that he is planning to write a book about corporal punishment in Ireland.

Speaking on the radio show, he confessed: “The stories are just horrific, beyond horrific, of corporal punishment, but even what went on in schools was horrific… it was abolished here in 1972 but it still went on. It was rampant in our schools.”
