RTE's Former Midlands Correspondent is due to take up a new role in the midlands.
Ciaran Mullooly will take on the role of Just Transition Tourism Activator for Longford County Council.
He'll work with similar representatives in local authorities in Laois, Offaly and Westmeath, in a bid to encourage people and businesses to apply for a €17m Just Transition fund in the region.
Mr. Mullooly says it's been a strange start to the year:
