Perry is in charge of RTE's Six One News, alongside Keelin Shanley since last January.

The two were announced as presenters in October 2017, before Bryan Dobson left for Morning Ireland on RTE Radio One.

Perry became viral around the world in 2017 after Donald Trump flirted with her in the White House.

She has been a broadcast news correspondent since 2000, while still in college at DCU.

She spent five months studying at Boston University, before graduating in DCU in 2002 with an undergraduate degree in Journalism.

Caitriona began her career at Newstalk before working as a court correspondent and then as vice president of news for Today FM.

In 2007, she moved to RTE, where she covered stories at home, in addition to Canada, Europe and Australia.

While in her role as Washington correspondent, she covered everything from the presidential campaign to the collapse of the Berkeley balcony to the Oscars.
