Caitriona Perry paid an emotional goodbye to viewers and said “a new chapter begins for me now” as she signed off the RTE Six One News last night.
The 42-year-old announced earlier this month she would be leaving the state broadcaster to join the BBC as their chief news presenter in the US.
Mum-of-two Caitriona will be based in Washington DC when she begins her new role at the end of the summer.
