Barry O'Neill

Barry O'Neill is an Irish sports broadcaster, producer and politician from County Donegal. He can be heard on Sunday Sport on RTÉ Radio 1. He regularly presents bulletins on RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ 2fm. He is a Fine Gael member of Donegal County Council. He ran for the party in the 2010 Donegal South-West by-election but lost to Pearse Doherty. Because of his involvement with both RTÉ and Fine Gael he has drawn comparisons with George Lee.
O'Neill is a fan of the Donegal football team and Finn Harps and enjoys music by Daniel O'Donnell.
O'Neill married Lorraine McCabe on 30 December 2011. Their January 2012 honeymoon in Europe attracted attention when controversial pictures of McCabe giving a Nazi salutes beside wax sculptures of Adolf Hitler and others were posted on Facebook. Sinn Féin TD Pádraig Mac Lochlainn defended O'Neill, saying: "I think in my view, it's intended to be a bit of fun. It's very clumsy and he's apologised for any offence caused so I think it's one of those unfortunate... we all make mistakes."
