Eileen Magnier announces early retirement from RTE after 39 years at the station

The veteran journalist joined RTE in 1985 and was appointed as regional correspondent for the northwest in July 1990, becoming the organisation's first female correspondent.

In a statement released by RTE, she said that the role provided a "front row seat to every big story that has happened" and she has "been delighted to work on some of the really positive things that have been going on in the northwest region and beyond". "It can be a tough job, emotionally draining, physically exhausting but also hugely satisfying and as a team, I know we all do our best to represent the people of the areas we cover in the true spirit of public service broadcasting."

Her journalistic work has been recognised by two John Healy Awards, a Community Games Association Award, an AT Cross Woman Journalist of the Year Award and two Justice Media Awards.
