UriGagarin asked Caimh McDonnell:

Who is that 'News reader who used to read the news in Irish' based on ? Sharon Ní Bheoláin? Just one of those running jokes you want to know where it comes from.

Caimh McDonnell Yep, while it is not actually her and of course not meant to disrespect her in any way as she's great, the joke's roots probably lie in my memory of how she ratings for the news in Irish soared when she was presenting it.
