It’s time to go, reveals retiring newsreader Doyle

ONE of the country’s best-loved newsreaders, Anne Doyle, has revealed she decided to retire because she simply felt her time was up in front of the RTÉ cameras.

The 59-year-old icon, who has been on our screens for 33 years, confirmed yesterday that she will be gone from the 9pm news by the end of December.

The anchorwoman told the Ray D’Arcy Show that she decided to go just before her landmark 60th birthday next year.
