O’Connell, also a presenter on TV3’s Six O’Clock Show, has been filling in on the national station since Al Porter’s departure in November.

Porter left the station in the midst of allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

Originally from Dooradoyle, Muireann has worked in radio over 12 years.

You may have heard her on Limerick’s Live 95, Spin South West and 98FM before she replaced Lucy Kennedy in 2016.
