Sarah McInerney, a prominent journalist at RTÉ, has confirmed that she will not be taking on the role of host for the Late Late Show. McInerney, who is currently involved in RTÉ’s political coverage, stated that she wants to remain at the center of the network’s political reporting for the upcoming election. Despite finding the prospect of hosting the iconic show enticing, McInerney is refocusing her efforts on political coverage. This news comes as the search for Ryan Tubridy’s replacement continues, with other contenders including Claire Byrne, Miriam O’Callaghan, and Brendan O’Connor, who have all ruled themselves out of the running. RTÉ has signaled that an announcement about a successor to Tubridy will come later in the summer.
