Former RTÉ correspondent Ciaran Mullooly is to take up new tourism role in Longford
FORMER RTÉ midlands correspondent Ciarán Mullooly has announced he's to take up a new tourism role in the coming weeks.
The well-known journalist and broadcaster was a familiar face on TV screens across the country having worked with the national broadcaster for 27 years before announcing his retirement in June 2021.
He subsequently took up a role as Community Development and Social Enterprise Worker with the Roscommon LEADER Partnership and has now confirmed he is to take on another new challenge.
"I'm glad to announce that I will be moving back to a central role in Longford Tourism in the new year I'm moving to work with Longford County Council and and the European Just Transition Fund to enhance the county and bring more more people to places like St Mel's (Cathedral) and others during the coming year," he said in a video posted on social media over the weekend.
