TV3 PRESS RELEASE
IMMEDIATE: Friday 22nd October
TV3 is delighted to announce that journalist and presenter, Sarah Carey, will fill Colette Fitzpatrick’s seat on MidWeek while she is away on maternity leave.
Sarah will start her new position in late November and will continue throughout the New Year on TV3’s successful primetime show. Now in its second series, MidWeek uncovers the human stories behind the headlines and the show has fast become the mainstay of TV3’s Wednesday evening schedule.
Sarah has a degree in History from Trinity College Dublin and a post-graduate Diploma in Business Studies from the Michael Smurfit Business School in UCD. Between 1995 and 1998 she worked for Esat Telecom and Esat Digifone. This involved working on the bid for Ireland’s second ever mobile phone licence. Sarah is currently working as a journalist for the Irish Times and has guest presented on TV3’s Tonight with Vincent Browne.
Producer of TV3’s MidWeek, Patrick Kinsella, said: “I am delighted Sarah is going to host the show, and whilst they are big shoes to fill, I think her experience and warm personality will prove very popular with the audience!”
ENDS.
