1980

Raymond Foley (born 21 September 1980) is an Irish television host and radio presenter.

Having worked at Dublin's 98FM and SPIN 1038 early in his career, Foley moved to Today FM in 2004.

1997

Following an entry in the DJ For a Day competition on 2FM (on Tony Fenton's Hotline show) in 1997, Foley got a taste for broadcasting.

2004

This led to him beginning his studies as a journalist in Dublin Institute of Technology, from which he graduated in October 2004 While there he started working at East Coast FM, and thence moved to 98FM and as a newsreader on Lite FM, before moving to SPIN 1038, "to get re-acquainted with presenting again".

While there, he presented The Zoo Crew with Clionadh O'Leary on week nights.

In 2004, at the age of 23, Foley moved to Today FM and began presenting late night show, The Blast, from 22:00 to 00:00, Monday to Thursday, with his college friend, JP Gilbourne, from Dundalk.

Foley and JP regularly filled-in for Ray D'Arcy, Tony Fenton and Tom Dunne during this time.

2006

In 2006, he moved to midday and presented The Ray Foley Show, with sidekick JP Gilbourne and Adelle McDonnell.

When the radio schedule was changed in 2006, Foley moved to a midday slot, which was vacated by Tony Fenton.

2007

Foley married RTÉ 2fm newsreader Kate Carolan in 2007.

They met while working at SPIN 1038.

He proposed to Carolan on O'Connell Street in Dublin City Centre and they spent their honeymoon attending the Oxegen Music Festival.

2008

Foley was disciplined by Irish authorities when he broadcast the Lily Allen song "Fuck You Very Much" on lunchtime radio in 2008.

For 6 years Foley broadcast during the 12:00 to 14:30 time slot on Today FM, directly after The Ray D'Arcy Show.

The tagline for the show was "Just a bit of fun for your lunchtime, nothing too serious".

The show consisted of taking calls from listeners on random topics, chart music and some regular spots, along with the National Lunchtime News from 12:45 to 13:00.

Sometimes contributors included Ann Gleeson, Alan Metcalfe (Funky Phone Boy Al) and reviewer Eoghan Doherty (Nordy Eoghan).

Following a nearly decade long hiatus from the station, Foley and Gilbourne returned to Today FM to present Ray Foley at 14:00 on Monday the 14th of February 2022.

The show runs until 16:30 on weekdays, when it is followed by The Last Word with Matt Cooper.

Foley won a Meteor Music Award for Best National DJ in 2008, 2009 and again in 2010.

Foley celebrated winning the 2008 award by singing a version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", and in 2009 with the theme tune to TV's Home and Away as part of his acceptance speech.
