Doireann Garrihy will be gracing the airwaves once again after stepping away from 2FM’s Breakfast Show six months ago.
Earlier this year, she confirmed that she would be returning in a brand new slot on the station.
And she will kick things off on Monday afternoon.
2FM Drive with Doireann Garrihy will air from 3pm-6pm. With Doireann in the driving seat, she will have a mix of the hottest tracks, entertainment updates, and feel-good vibes to power the evening commute. Expect fun, high energy and plenty of laughs.

Speaking to VIP Magazine, Doireann tells us: “I knew when I left in May that I wasn’t finished in radio forever. I absolutely knew and felt that. But at that time, it was the right time for me to leave. And I made the decision based on my gut, which I have always done. I think my family and friends, as much as they always back and support me, they were like, ‘Oh, here’s Doireann going with her gut again, making these decisions’!
“But I just don’t think there’s any point making decisions any other way. It felt right for me then, I knew what the rest of my year looked like. I knew what the start of 2025 looked like with Dancing With The Stars (DWTS). I knew I needed a break as well.”
Speaking about her return she confessed: “It felt strange; I was nervous but excited. I felt like a newbie but also like part of the furniture because I know so many of the team. I like that it feels so familiar but also such a new challenge.”
As for what we can expect from the show, Doireann teased: “To not have Donncha and Carl will be strange. But there will be contributors and callers, and I think people underestimate how important callers and listeners and their interactions are in terms of the content of the show. Most of the golden radio moments come from chatting to callers and hearing their stories.”
