    I wonder when she'll move, is it right away or does she have a contract until the end of the year (or something).

    Maybe Sky could take this opportunity to drop Sky News Ireland; blame it on Grainne :D

    Well, she's set for life now in RTÉ. Presenters tend to stay within RTE for the rest of their working years, if RTE consider them good.

    Good news but why not put her on the 6.01 with Bryan Dobson? Its a perfect match! She'd be far better reading the news. They're wasting her talents if they stick her in an afternoon show!

    I thought she was going to London to present on the main Sky News channel? Maybe that fell through and that's why she's moving..?

    Is she taking the place of that Big Bite show? Or is the Afternoon show being axed?

    Always thought the Sky News Ireland a bit of a carreer dead end. I mean apart from beigning a newsreader what esle is there to do in Sky. They have no programming in UK and less here.
