A healthy mix

PRIOR to RTÉ One’s Four Live going on an indefinite off-screen holiday last month, presenter Maura Derrane spoke of her love for the show.

“I love Four Live. It’s a great mix. There’s human interest and everything from fashion to food, beauty to medical. I look at myself as a facilitator to get the story out.”

Maura, who recently joined forces with chef Kevin Dundon to launch the new SuperValu range of goods is married to Fine Gael TD John Deasy, which — she says — keeps her in touch with just how difficult life is for many today.
