Irish multimedia journalist 

About

Hello! I’m an Irish writer and journalist. Thank you for visiting my portfolio! 

I’m a recent graduate from the University of Limerick having studied Journalism and Digital Communications. 

For four years, I worked as a print journalist with Iconic Media writing features on everything from politics, the environment and art.  Since graduating in 2023, I worked for a year as a journalist and researcher for the radio station Live 95. My work involved scripting, researching and producing packages for the flagship current affairs show Limerick Today.   

In March 2024, I spoke on behalf of the Ours to Protect project at Radiodays Europe, an initiative by the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland where 23 local and regional radio stations in Ireland produce a weekly climate-related programme. The series has showcased solutions-based journalism to inspire listeners to engage with the topic of climate action. Following my time at Live 95, I worked as a researcher for Newstalk Breakfast in Dublin.  This role involved developing ideas for the current affairs talk show and producing the shows Breakfast Business and Breakfast Briefing. 

I recently decided to return to college to pursue a Masters of Science in Environment, Society and Culture. I hope to combine this with my communications experience to present unique and dynamic content relating to environmentalism.  

I love translating a story between mediums, from creating video reports, radio packages to long-form journalism.

Outside of work, I spend my free time making art and climbing mountains.

Passion and patience is the key to the unique craft of master Tipperary potter

In the workshop adorned with terracotta splashed walls and scrawls of formulae only a true master could decipher, the unique art of Rossa Pottery emerges from the hands of potter Alan Walsh.

Rossa was established by his father Ned Walsh and is celebrating sixty years in business this year. The art of producing pottery, characterised by its distinctive glaze, is second nature to Alan, who shared his father’s love of creating the completely handmade pieces that are now sold all over the world.

Episode 7- Limerick Beekeepers' Association

This episode focuses on the conservation of The Native Irish Honey Bee and what we can do to help their population. Aislinn visited Tom O'Brien at Limerick Beekeepers' training apiary to learn about beekeeping and what we can do to help these important pollinators.

The Native Irish Honey Bee was originally plentiful in Northern Europe, however numbers were decimated due to hybridisation with other subspecies. The purest strain of the bee remains in Ireland.
