Carole Coleman is moving on from RTÉ. After decades as one of the most recognisable and ­respected journalists in the ­country, the broadcaster is now taking up a post teaching journalism at the ­University of Galway.

“I’ve been running this racket, as I call it, now for about 12 years,” ­Coleman says of the period since 2014, when she moved back from the US, where she had served as RTÉ’s ­Washington correspondent.
