RTE sports host Evanne Ni Chuilinn has revealed she has written a book – as she opens up about not wanting to be pigeon-holed in her job.
The commentator said she always likes to keep herself on her toes and feels she needs to be a role model for her three children, especially her daughter.
She said: “I don’t like to be pigeon-holed. I absolutely love what I do for a living, but I am the type of person who will always look for something to keep me on my toes.

“My job does that, and my three children do that, but I still went back a few years ago and did another Masters part-time.
“I have just finished writing a book. I like challenging myself and I don’t like being pigeonholed into working in sports broadcasting; there is a whole other side to me, and I try not to forget that.
“Yes, I love what I do, yes, I cannot wait to work on the World Cup, but part of me feels like I am a role model to my children and particularly to my daughter.
“I think that is important. It is why I have gone back and tried to take up Gaelic football. I am playing on a Mothers and Others team at the kids GAA club and I think that’s important to show your kids, myself and my husband, to give a good example about being health conscious and minding yourself,” she told the RTE Guide.
