This much I know: Derek Mooney

At one stage I considered being a garda, but it wasn’t to be.

My work is my life. That’s my work/life balance. I love my job.

I really always knew I’d work in broadcasting. It all began in school. I was a pupil in St Mary’s Boys National School in Donnybrook, which is just beside RTÉ. Occasionally I would see Gay Byrne and think ‘Wow, there’s Gay Byrne’ and then I’d watch him present the Late Late Toy Show and dream that one day I’d be the host. Well, you can’t have everything.
