Dara Quilty has been announced as 98FM's new drive-time presenter.
He's spent the past six years at 98FM's sister station, SPIN 1038.
Dara said, "I’m delighted to make the move to 98FM and develop as a solo presenter. The station actually gave me my first gig holding a balloon on Grafton Street – there were 300 of us holding them, but I’m the only one who still works in the business today! I’m really looking forward to the challenge of ridin’ solo on 98FM!”
Speaking about the introduction of Dara to 98FM Michael Brett, Station Manager said, “Dara is an exciting addition to the 98FM family. His youth and energy will bring a really fresh approach to the drivetime slot and we look forward to welcoming him into the fold and adding him to our already really strong line up.”
As well as presenting for radio, Quilty was the first host of RTE's Two Tube but made the switch to radio in 2007.
Dara's new show - The Big Ride Home - will start on 98FM at the end of next month.
