Sarah McInerney, a prominent presenter at RTÉ, is known for her adept interviewing skills and coverage of major political events and wars. However, she reveals that hosting the St Patrick’s Day parade proves to be her most challenging assignment, despite her extensive experience in journalism. During a recent interview, she candidly mentioned feeling overwhelmed during her first year of covering the parade, highlighting the pressure of local events compared to high-stakes political debates. McInerney credits Vincent Browne as a mentor while also emphasizing the importance of prioritizing her children in her busy life.
"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."
McInerney's experience covering international conflicts and tough interviews seems to offer her confidence, yet the local St Patrick’s Day parade unsettles her like nothing else.
