What would the anglicised version of Seioige be?


Joyce, I believe - but given that she is from a Gaeltacht area, she is probably christened Grainne Seoige. (Some Irish people from English speaking areas do like to adopt the Irish (Gaelic) versions of their names).

She seemed to be doing okay on Sky News Today this morning, confident as always.

She used to do the sport on News 24 quite often for a period, before she became a regular on the ITVNC.

Does anybody have the opening of sky news today where 'god' said Grainnes name ??


If you meant to say Bruce Hammal instead of God, then I have an example which I downloaded from the Forum, not recent mind you, but from the MK1 version of Sky News Ireland, which in this clip is a mouthful

Sky News Ireland At Ten with Grainne Seoige??? (MP3)

Samantha Simmonds on Sky News yesterday - how long has she been there, and is she the same one who used to present BBC Breakfast and N24 on occasion?

I thought I saw her as a Sky Reporter a few weeks ago....

Where is Juliet Errington....?

The Sky News Today AM team involves another rota change this morning; Gráinne Seoige, Steve Gaisford and Helen Fospero anchoring, with Gráinne acting as lead anchor.

Carrie is also getting a lot of air-time, isn't she? After her shifts at the weekend, she returns to SNT this morning.

They need to re-do GS's voiceover. It sounds bloody awful, and doesnt match up with the others.

I agree with that; they should place her name last as it has only been recorded wih the presumption that she is a single anchor (ie for the overnights), and therefore when her name is played first, it sounds completely wrong.
