Sarah McInerney and Cormac O’hEadhra will team up to present RTÉ Radio 1’s Drivetime programme from 4.30pm on weekday evenings as part of a reshuffle of the broadcaster’s schedule. Meanwhile, Bryan Dobson will anchor RTÉ’s flagship News at One radio news programme, while Katie Hannon will present Saturday with Katie Hannon at weekends. The changes follow on from Claire Byrne’s move at the beginning of this week to the Today show, a slot that had been filled by McInerney following the retirement of Sean O’Rourke in May. End for Sean O’Rourke? Speaking to The Irish Times, Peter Woods, the head of RTÉ Radio 1, said the decision to cancel O’Rourke’s show was “mutual”.
