Sinead reports from the Department of Health
RTÉ s Arts and Media Correspondent Sinead Crowley recalls the switch in assignment which saw her reporting live from the most famous conference room in Ireland.
In terms of my own work, a lot has changed since I filed my first working from home diary. At that time I was still working full time as Arts and Media correspondent, and most of my reports concerned the devastating blow dealt to the arts sector industry by Covid-19 restrictions.
Shortly afterwards however I was assigned to covering Covid-19 itself and soon found myself down at the Department of Health, reporting live from, as one friend put it, the most famous conference room in Ireland. Some people wondered if the move from Arts to Health was a difficult one for me, but to be honest, the basic journalism remained the same.
