Áine Lawlor presents her final edition of RTÉ’s The Week in Politics today, marking the end of a career spanning more than 40 years with the broadcaster. Multiple outlets report that the programme is aired as her sign-off from RTÉ, with Lawlor hosting the last instalment of the long-running political interview and analysis show.

RTE News states that she hosts her final programme as she bids farewell to the organisation after more than four decades. TheJournal.ie similarly reports that Lawlor signs off by presenting her last The Week in Politics programme in the afternoon, consistent with the timing of the broadcast.

Both accounts focus on the same event: Lawlor’s final appearance as host of The Week in Politics and her retirement or departure from RTÉ after an extensive tenure. No additional details are provided in the supplied reports about the reasons for her departure or her next role.
