BROADCASTER LOUISE MCSHARRY has announced that she is leaving 2FM after 11 years.
McSharry presents a music and entertainment show on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9-11am.
She announced her departure on social media this morning, thanking RTÉ for her time at the national broadcaster and for the support it offered her after she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2014.
“After eleven years on RTE2FM, the time has come for me to move on. I’d like to thank RTE for the time I spent as part of the organisation, and particularly for the support it offered me around my illness in 2014 and 2015,” McSharry wrote.
“I relished having the opportunity to play and support emerging Irish artists on the new music show I presented for five years, and look forward to seeing 2fm’s continued support of Irish music from the outside.
I am especially grateful for the opportunity over the last two years to create a talk show I’m really proud of.
“It was an immense privilege to be part of people’s lives during such a difficult time for us as a society, and I will never forget it.
“Thank you so much to all the listeners for your continued support, you have made my career so far. I’m nowhere near finished yet, so hope you’ll all join me in my next chapter.”

Good to see this sort of stuff!
In fairness NASA are great at this sort of thing. Their astronauts give loads of their time in ISS to education.
… at this sort of thing too.
@Paraic McDonagh: Nasa ARE great at this. They’ve been faking it since the beginning. So good at it now that it nearly appears real. Pity they can’t push past the 600 mile mile Van Allen belt limitation though. Spoils the whole show.
Fantastic opportunity for these young kids. I am very jealous!
Brilliant for these schools.
Apparently we’re all on a big ball, rotating at a speed of 1000mph and further rotating around a Sun, at 67,000mph. In addition, all of that is hurtling through an infinite universe at speeds up in the 100s of 1000s of mph – yet I feel absolutely zero vibration, lateral movement, or rotational pull from it all.
Do you?
@Patrick Mac: And isn’t it interesting that when the Navy projects their 2″ missile beam across over the surface of the seas boasting up to 60 mile of accurate range, they never see any radius or curvature on the sea plain, impeding their view across the 60 mile span. The rise in the middle across 60 miles should be .45 of a mile. I think one would notice that.
