Ray D’Arcy has quit Today FM with immediate effect.
The news was announced on Sunday evening and Twitter is, as usual, divided.
Oh, and so much for not going back…
Wow. Major coup for RTÉ. Ray D’Arcy is a big catch for the state broadcaster.

Open to correction but think Ray D’Arcy, at 50, will be youngest presenter on RTE Radio One from 9am to 10pm.
