Raymond Michael D'Arcy (born 1 September 1964) is an Irish television and radio presenter currently on his second stint at state broadcaster RTÉ.

[2] D'Arcy once presented a self-titled weekday morning radio programme on the Denis O'Brien-owned Today FM.

[6] D'Arcy has been a presenter for both TV and radio, beginning this career by joining RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta in 1985.

He was the presenter of several short-running or once-off broadcasts for RTÉ, including Ireland's version of the Test The Nation franchise and the Irish Young Scientist Awards.

[12] Television roles dried up as the 2000s progressed, though he presented When Dreams Come True in 2005[13] and hosted Eurosong 2008 at the University of Limerick Concert Hall.

[17] On 1 December 2008, he announced on his Today FM radio show that he would be participating in the second season of Celebrity Bainisteoir; he managed County Kildare team Rathangan.

D'Arcy credited much of the show's success to the team that served him well over the years: Jenny Kelly, Will Hanafin and Mairead Farrell.

Gardaí subsequently raided the Today FM studios and producer Will Hanafin was asked to hand over the emails, on the basis that the placing of the paintings constituted indecency, incitement and criminal damage.

[23] In July 2014, D'Arcy experienced backlash from mixed martial arts fans by inviting Cathal Pendred onto his show then grilling him on his part in the "violent and disturbing" sport.

[31] In June 2023, D'Arcy gave a current salary of €250,000 per year, just for the radio show (he was not working in television at the time).

[33] In May 2016, the BAI ruled for a second time that D'Arcy's programme lacked objectivity when he interviewed Graham Linehan and his wife, Helen, on her need to have an abortion in the UK following the discovery that a foetus she was carrying had a fatal abnormality.

The unanimous opinion of the BAI committee was that the program lacked objectivity and impartiality and went so far to note that this was the third time a complaint was upheld against D'Arcy on this issue and it was a matter of concern to them.

[1] While being interviewed on The Saturday Night Show in 2010, D'Arcy issued an ultimatum to Enda Kenny, "vowing he would leave Ireland" after the February 2011 general election if the man became Taoiseach.

Previously engaged to TV presenter Geri Maye (only for the wedding to be halted at the last minute), D'Arcy married Jenny Kelly, his producer and co-presenter, on 24 August 2013.

D'Arcy always maintains that this should be seen as a group award, and that credit should be shared with Jenny Kelly, Mairead Farrell and producer Will Hanafin, who also contributes to presenting the show.
