Doireann Garrihy says she'll be off RTE 2FM for a number of weeks as they plan for show after Eoghan McDermott

RTE 2FM star Doireann Garrihy will be off the radio for the next two weeks as bosses come up with a new plan for the station's Breakfast Show.

The host announced this morning that Tara Stewart and Stephen Byrne will be filling in for her every morning as she heads back to her desk.

Doireann has been hosting the show by herself, with some guest hosts, since Eoghan McDermott departed the station last month.

And the presenter is expected to return with plans for who will replace Eoghan and how the show will change when she returns.

Speaking this morning, Doireann said: "Good morning and Happy Friday. At 9am this morning, I'm going to be leaving the studio and heading directly to what we like to call the 2FM radio idea factory.

"Which is basically just my desk in 2FM but the factory thing sounded cooler.

"And I'm going to be doing what you would do in a radio ideas factory, particularly the breakfast show department. I'm gonna be trialling, testing and fine tuning a brand new breakfast show.

"While I'm gone for a few weeks, Tara Stewart and Stephen Byrne, they're gonna be keeping you entertained in the mornings.

"And then I'll be back."
