Duffy announces his retirement from RTÉ after 37 years, concluding his role as host of Liveline. Speculation arose about a potential presidential run, but he stated he has not been approached. Duffy recounted significant moments, including the campaign against head shops in 2010, during which he faced threats. He emphasized that Liveline was about the voices of its callers, valuing their input over his own. His broadcasting career began unexpectedly while he worked as a probation officer, evolving from a desire to become a producer.
"It's the voices on Liveline. The less I talk the better, I find. The voices of the callers and it's a privilege."
"The head shop campaign was the only time - out of all the things we've done over the years thanks to the listeners - that I was physically threatened."
