BIG News for Today FM’s Mairead Farrell as she Has Two Major Announcements on Air

Radio and television presenter Mairead Farrell broke some big news today... twice! The Dub has long been a popular part of The Ray D'Arcy Show on the national station. Today, however, it was announced that she will be moving from her role there to take up a new challenge as producer on The Ian Dempsey Show. As well as big professional news, though, Mairead has some big personal news too - she's set to marry partner of three years, Louis Ronan. Mairead, who just wrapped filming on another series of Ireland's Fittest Family, told The Ian Dempsey Show this morning that Louis proposed while the couple were on holidays almost two weeks ago - and admitted that she struggled to keep the news quiet at first. Former Her.ie columnist Mairead has one son from a previous marriage, and seven-year-old Dara is set to play a big role in the celebrations. Mairead said on air this morning: "He is best man for both of us!" Mairead admitted that Dara is a big part of the reason she is taking up her new role also, saying: "With starting work earlier, I'll be home in the afternoons. I'll be able to pick him up from school every day."
