It was announced earlier this month the long-term presenter of the ‘Tonight’ programme would be stepping down after almost ten years at the forefront of the popular current affairs programme.
The show which airs tonight from 23:00 runs with the topic, ‘Where is Ireland Post Crisis’, with an all-female panel consisting of Sinn Fein’s Mary Lou McDonald, The Irish Independent’s Dearbhail McDonald, Independent TD Catherine Connolly and Sinead O’Carroll from The Journal.ie.
Tonight’s show follows the penultimate episode focusing on new Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Audiences are describing the impending absence of Browne as the “end of an era”.
Bill Malone, Director of Programming, TV3:
“Vincent has made an extraordinary contribution to Irish journalism and to Irish broadcasting. As the presenter of the Tonight Show, Vincent encapsulated the mood of the nation during unprecedented economic and political turmoil. His commitment to highlighting inequality and injustices in Irish life has been unwavering over his journalistic career.”
