Sarah McInerney decides to leave Newstalk

Sarah McInerney is leaving her Newstalk programme, Between The Lines, and will present her last show on Saturday December 23rd.

The Sunday Times political correspondent moved from Drive to weekends just a few months ago as Ivan Yates took over Drivetime.

Chris Doyle from Newstalk comments: “On behalf of the team here in Newstalk I would like to thank Sarah for her hard work and commitment to the station and wish her every success in the future.”

The Communicorp station says a revised weekend schedule for Newstalk will be announced in due course.

Just a few days ago, Sarah’s former co-host Chris Donoghue decided he was leaving Newstalk after 14 years. He’s joining the Government as special advisor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney.
