Ex RTE Grainne Seoige next move as Galway star says Ireland AM goodbye

Spiddal beauty Gráinne Seoige has revealed her next TV move – and it’s one that will prove popular with audiences the country over as she returns to her roots.

The Connemara TV star and former news anchor came back to TV with a bang after a career break. Seoige slotted back into flaghip TV as if she was never been away, quickly nabbing a top slot with Virgin Media’s Ireland AM.

However, Seoige is fiercely proud of her home county and Connemara in particular. Her widely acclaimed Grá Ar An Trá saw her back on TG4 to make a show that comes across more of a labour of love than another job in her extensive and celebrated career. And even with the Ireland AM hotseat in the bag, Seoige was only too happy to take TG4 up on another series of Grá Ar An Trá

Gráinne Seoige shared the big move: “And just like that my last weekend for a while on Ireland AM is done! Siomha Ní Rúairc and myself are heading off to An Ghaeltacht to make S2 of Grá Ar An Trá. And then there is a big celebration at the end of the month! Siomha and Cathal.

“Thank you to everyone on the Ireland AM team it’s been a pure joy and especially to Martin King. “Fintistic” My beautiful broderie top is from Fiona. It feels super summery and I LOVE the colour.”

Grá Ar An Trá sees twelve singletons looking for love way out west, with Seoige’s beloved homeland serving as a romantic kicker for the prosective couples. And in TG4’s own way, the show has more heart and honesty than any other dating shows from any other station.
