Broadcasting career

Carthy's first day at RTÉ was 26 May 1980.[2]

In 2011, Carthy was "downgraded" by RTÉ. This prompted a response from numerous Gaelic games figures, including Mickey Harte, Kieran McGeeney and Justin McNulty, who felt this mistreatment of Carthy was unfair. Those who disagreed with RTÉ's treatment of Carthy wrote a four-page letter to director general Noel Curran and boycotted the organisation.[4][5]

Carthy launched a podcast in August 2022, focusing on Senior Club Championship results.[6]

Writing career

In possession of a nationwide profile, Carthy has also written a number of books with a sporting theme.[7][8]
