Sarah McInerney, a prominent broadcaster known for her strong political interviews, candidly expresses her discomfort with covering the St. Patrick's Day parade, a task she describes as the hardest of her career. This assignment, which she has tackled annually for three years, pushes her out of her comfort zone despite her extensive experience interviewing politicians and reporting on global conflicts. McInerney attributes her robust interviewing style to mentorship from Vincent Browne and emphasizes the importance of balancing her demanding career with her role as a mother.
"It's the most difficult thing I've ever done," she says, when we sit down to chat in a suite in a Dublin hotel. "The first year I did it, I was sweating bullets."
Despite my usual confidence in gritty political interviews or covering wars, the St. Patrick's Day parade feels overwhelmingly challenging to me."
I owe a lot to Vincent Browne as a mentor; he taught me the significance of pursuing tough questions without fear.
While I navigate my career, putting my kids first remains my utmost priority—balancing professionalism and motherhood was daunting yet rewarding."
