Ten years ago, the cover for the RTÉ Guide's Christmas issue was shot in the Clarence Hotel in Dublin by photographer John Cooney. The cover stars were Hector Ó hEochagáin, who was then presenting the travel series 'Amú le Hector' on TG4, Fair City actresses Orlaith Rafter and Claudia Carroll, TV3 newsreader Gráinne Seoige and Derek Mooney, whose RTÉ Radio programme 'Mooney Goes Wild on One' was just about to be moved to a one-hour slot on Saturday mornings.

This issue of the RTÉ Guide was published on 19 December 2003.
