Popular radio presenter Doireann Garrihy has announced she will leave RTÉ 2FM at the end of May after five years working for the station.
She will present her final breakfast show, with co-hosts Donncha O’Callaghan and Carl Mullan, on Friday, May 31st.
Garrihy said she will be pursuing "ventures new" along with her current podcast.
"Donncha and Carl, I have found brothers for life in you both. What an absolute blast of craic, ridiculous immaturity and lifelong bond-building. Anyone would be blessed to work with one gentleman every day, I was beyond blessed to work with two."
She also thanked listeners for "welcoming me with open ears back in 2019”.
"Now, it’s time for my podcasts Doireann and Friends and The Laughs Of Your Life, to travel, to give more to the people who have been on this journey with me since the viral impressions video of 2016 and to pursue the projects I’ve been dreaming about. As we would say to our lovely callers on air, good luck and thanks."
Head of RTÉ 2FM Dan Healy said: ""Doireann is an exceptional broadcaster and has been a very important part of team at 2FM. Everyone in the station is sorry to hear that she has decided to leave. I am very proud of the breakfast show that Doireann presented with Donncha and Carl which has been loved by the audience and very successful in the JNLRs. Personally, I'm sorry to see her leave, but I respect Doireann's decision. I wish her the very best for the future in everything she does. Doireann leaves 2FM in good shape and we look forward to building on the success of the breakfast show over the summer months and beyond."
