RTÉ plucks Gráinne from Sky

TV beauty Gráinne Seoige is to quit Sky News Ireland and join RTÉ for a five-days-a-week show, it was announced last night.

Galway-born Gráinne, who made her name presenting news bulletins, will front an as-yet-unnamed weekday show for RTÉ.

Speaking after the coup of snatching Gráinne from the mighty Sky TV satellite giant, RTÉ programmes boss Clare Duignan said: “We are delighted to welcome a broadcaster of Gráinne’s professionalism, profile and talent to our stable.”
