Ever wondered about the pronunciation of Niall's name on the air? We tend not to talk about it too often just in case he gets a little upset.

Here's the reason...... "My parents lived in scotland before I was born and chose a Celtic name for me. The Irish version is the most well known and is pronounced "Niall" where as the Scottish version is pronounced "Neil". I hope that prevents a few sleepless nights" |
