As Eileen Dunne is now retired from RTÉ News; how will the presenting roles for the Nine O'Clock News unfold in future?

If Sharon Ní Bheoláin is still the full-time presenter of Crimecall once a month along with presenting the Nine O'Clock News every second week; someone else would have to cover one Monday night bulletin a month when Sharon is presenting Crimecall.

Who would be a suitable candidate doing that job when she is presenting Crimecall on a monthly basis if it sticks with the rotationary basis for the Nine O'Clock News?

If I have to put in candidates for it; I could have Ray Kennedy, Vivienne Traynor, Sharon Tobin or Kate Egan for presenting the Nine O'Clock News.

I think Ray Kennedy should get the job if Sharon Ní Bheoláin doesn’t take over the Nine bulletin on her own. He’s an excellent newscaster and has more then earned the role at this stage. I think Kate Egan should then take over the weekend bulletins. She’s very good also and is a bit lost just doing the weekend morning radio slots and the 5 minute weekend lunchtime TV bulletins.
