Donncha O’Callaghan is the latest presenter to announce his departure from RTÉ 2fm

More changes are coming RTE 2fm with Donncha O’Callaghan announcing he will be leaving the station at the end of next week.

The former Munster and Ireland rugby international has been presenting with Carl Mullen and for more than three years Doireann Garrihy who recently left the station.

In a post on social media last Tuesday, the Cork resident confirmed his departure, saying: “Friday 5th July will be my last ‘2FM Breakfast’ show. I am so incredibly grateful and proud of the last five years at 2FM, I ‘I absolutely loved it.”

In his Instagram post, Donncha paid tribute to his co-presenters and those working behind the scenes at the national broadcaster.

“We all have a reason to jump out of bed and tackle the day. I am once again blessed to have been able to do something I love for the past five years. Of course it takes sacrifice and dedication, in my case that burden is was worn by Jenny. Thank you for always supporting me,” he wrote.

Donncha went on to say: “It’s now time to focus on winning Ireland’s Fittest Family, continuing to work on all my exciting rugby projects and something else that is a complete ‘disaster’…”

Donncha O’Callaghan’s departure from RTÉ 2fm follows the exit of Doireann Garrihy, Jennifer Zamparelli and The 2 Johnnies in recent months.
