RTÉ today announced that Ger Gilroy will join the RTÉ Podcasts team to present a daily sports podcast. Launching later this year, the new show will set the sports agenda across the week with coverage of GAA, soccer, rugby, athletics, boxing and beyond.
Born in Belfast, Ger Gilroy grew up in Athy, Co Kildare, and moved to Dublin in the 90's. He has worked as a sports presenter across radio, podcasting, TV and digital video over the past 25 years.
Gilroy’s most recent roles were Managing Director of Off The Ball and host of Off The Ball Breakfast every Monday to Thursday.
He said; “I'm thrilled to be joining and can’t wait to start chatting with new audiences across RTÉ’s podcast network about the things they love. It's great to have two-way conversations that include the audience, so we'll be wherever they are online - talking to them, but also listening to what they're interested in.
“Frankly, that's more important than ever in the face of the onslaught of AI and, let's face it, some made-up stuff. I’m also looking forward to collaborating with some of the great people in RTÉ Sport, which has borne witness to many of the most electrifying moments this country has had over the years. I can't wait to get started, it's going to be some craic.”
