Bryan Dobson says emotional goodbye in final RTE News appearance

During his final bulletin on RTE News, Dobson admitted he was ‘lucky’ while reflecting on his long career before saying ‘Dobbo has left the building’.

Dobson had spent almost four decades presenting for RTE with many remembering him most for his stint presenting the Six One news. The 64-year-old has covered everything from state funerals to elections during his long and illustrious career.He said: “Before I sign off, as this is my final day on the News at One and my last day in RTÉ, I’d just like to take a moment to thank the team here for making my job such a joy over the last few years.

“Day after day, they come up with great story ideas, with fascinating guests and with forensic questions. They make me sound good and I’m very grateful for that.” He added: “All of this, is with one purpose — to serve you, our audience. So, thank you for listening, for watching and for engaging. I know from texts, from emails, from letters that you are well-informed, you are discerning and you possess a highly-developed waffle detector.“It’s been a great 37 years but the time has come to say, if I can borrow a phrase, that Dobbo has left the building.
