RTÉ listeners, prepare for a serious shake-up! Several presenters are swapping slots on 2FM in order to accommodate two fan favourites heading on maternity leave.
Hugh Carr is stepping in to cover Bláthnaid Treacy’s maternity leave, taking over her two slots. The DJ is getting ready to welcome her second child with her husband, Charlie, and their two-year-old daughter, Nancy, is about to take on the role of big sister.
They are due to welcome their little one in November, though Bláthnaid has previously revealed to EVOKE that she won't be in any rush to get back to work after giving birth the second time round.
Hugh will present her Weekend Breakfast show from 7 am to 9 am and The Chart Show on Friday evening from 7 pm to 9 pm.
He has been working at 2FM for a few months, after starting out through the expressions of interest process earlier this year. He's been on air with Doireann on 2FM Drive since March.
Meanwhile, Doireann Garrihy is also heading on maternity leave, with Demi Isaac and Mikey O’Reilly taking over her drivetime slot. They promise to 'make the commute home a little easier with a mix of the hottest tracks, entertainment updates, and feel-good vibes to power your evenings,' according to RTÉ.
And those aren't the only changes coming to the station. Taran O' Sullivan will be moving to 2FM Mornings with Laura Fox from next week.
Meanwhile, Helen Galgey and Benny Bracken have changed around on the schedule. They will get a lie-in now with a later start time as they move from the earlier weekend time slot of 7 am – 9 am to cover Demi and Mikey’s slot from 12 noon to 3 pm.
Big changes are coming on RTÉ 2FM!
