RTÉ News has announced the appointment of RTÉ Deputy Foreign Editor, Fiona Mitchell, as London Correspondent.

She will be responsible for reporting across all RTÉ News television, radio and web based platforms on political, social and economic affairs in London and the wider Great Britain.

Originally from Tullamore in Co Offaly Fiona Mitchell joined RTÉ as a reporter in 2000. A graduate of NUIG, she initially worked as a reporter with both ‘Morning Ireland’ and the RTÉ Foreign Desk before being appointed News Editor in 2006. More recently she has worked as the Deputy Foreign Editor. During her time in RTÉ she has worked on some of the biggest news stories of recent years including the resignation of Pope Benedict, the historic State Visit to the UK of President Michael D Higgins and the recent Scottish Independence Referendum.

Managing Director, RTÉ News and Current Affairs, Kevin Bakhurst said: ‘We are very pleased to be in a position to appoint Fiona as our new London Correspondent. The appointment is a demonstration of RTÉ's commitment to the coverage of the UK ahead of the country's 2015 General Election and as Britain debates its future in the European Union. It will also ensure that we can reflect the lives and experiences of the large number of Irish people now living in the UK.’

Reacting to her appointment Fiona said: ‘I am thrilled to take on the role of London Correspondent at such a hugely interesting time in British life and politics. I relish the opportunity to bring that story to the RTE audience and re-establish the RTE presence in the UK.’

Fiona will be taking up the post in January and will be based at ITN in London.
