Kerry man and CNN journalist Donie O’Sullivan became a household name in Ireland overnight after he reported live from the riots in Washington DC on January 6. 

O’Sullivan’s cool and collected reporting gained him legions of fans and thousands of new followers on social media. He's now spreading the word about one of his colleagues, chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, whom O’Sullivan says should be claimed as Irish.
