Sky News poaches more staff from TV3

SKY News has moved more clouds on to TV3’s horizon after poaching another two well-known faces from its rival to join Grainne Seoige on its new Irish news service.

The latest pair to defect from TV3 are early morning news anchor Brian Daly, currently hosting the station’s breakfast TV programme, Ireland AM, and roving reporter Jerome Hughes.

Other new signings announced by Sky yesterday are RTÉ reporter Ray Kennedy who was also a former TV3 anchor; TG4 news mainstay, Eibhlín Ní Chonghaile, and a new face to television, Jonathan Healy, currently head of news at Dublin radio station, FM104.
