Behind the scenes on the Today Show with Maura Derrane and Daithí Ó Sé

Maura and Daithi returned to our screens this week. Majorie Brennan went behind the scenes at RTÉ Cork to see just what it takes to get a two-hour live show to air each day.

It’s early on a Friday morning in a cavernous former garage in Cork and I am surveying the beating heart of Irish daytime television.

The set of RTÉ’s Today show has been woken from its slumber and given a sunshine-coloured makeover, in preparation for the start of its fourth season in the second capital.
