Veteran broadcaster and author Fergal Keane, best known for covering the genocide in Rwanda in the 1990s, has announced that he is retiring from RTÉ after three decades.
Keane, a relative of critically-acclaimed Kerry writer John B. Keane, was born in London but raised in Dublin and Cork. He first joined RTÉ following some time as a journalist with the Limerick Leader and then The Irish Press.
The 62-year-old radio host and broadcaster, who recently published a memoir on his experience suffering with PTSD from reporting in war-torn regions, took to Twitter to break the news.
