RTE's 2FM breakfast presenter, Ian Dempsey, is leaving the station to work with To day FM. Mr Dempsey, who has worked for RTE radio for 19 years, did not renew his contract following a substantial offer by Today FM. He will join the station in September.
RTE's Director of Radio, Ms Helen Shaw, said: "Ian has worked for us for 19 years and has played a major role in the development of 2FM. We have been in discussion with him for some time but Ian received an offer he could not refuse."
From Monday the 2FM breakfast show will be presented by Gareth O'Callaghan.
