Sarah McInerney: 'It’s important to let yourself get emotionally involved'

The new co-host of Prime Time on life lessons, a love of reading and how a misread syllabus led her to a life in journalism

Sarah McInerney: "Radio 1 was the background to my life growing up — it still is, it’s on all the time in the kitchen."

On April 8 Sarah McInerney will take her place alongside Miriam O'Callaghan for the first time in her new gig as a co-host of RTÉ's flagship current affairs and investigative programme Prime Time.

Speaking to the ‘The Moments That Made Me', the weekend podcast from the Irish Examiner in association with Green & Black's McInerney says her skills as a radio and television journalist came about after a 'baptism of fire' with one of Ireland’s best-known and most-feared presenters: Vincent Browne.
