Caitriona Perry going back to America to be a BBC America reporter.

She'll be fine.

Good luck to her ..could never warm to her .had notions all the time..very boring as a journalist and would turn over to another channel..no loss to rte viewers

She's a newsreader and former correspondent, they are not supposed to be entertaining

I think she has a great opportunity tbh. BBC is well respected in the USA and are now expanding and taking on the likes of fox and cnn (which are not impartial).

I hope (for the sake of america) that there are a lot of people who are sick of that punch and Judy show and looking for some actual news, and caitriona is getting in on the ground floor. More power to her.

I'm not sure why this is a current affairs topic though? It's just an RTE journalist getting a new job.

good riddance to her..

Another rte staffer that people are getting worked up over.A careerist,fair play,look out for yourself.At the end of it the nation holds it's breath.

Career before family, - I don't see where you're getting that notion

She was over there before doing the gig for RTE for a few years.

BBC has a bigger cheque book and while like the rest of them she was on a cushy number over in D4 she probably knew there wasn't much hope of any further career progression in that dump.

I enjoyed her as US correspondent and she was a decent presenter for Six One. I hope she'll do well on BBC. I don't get the bitter and pretty sexist attitudes of so many on here who have probably achieved very little.

Do you take that bitter attitude with anyone who migrates for a new job and she has been working a long longer than 5 years in RTE think its 16
