Sorry Teresa Mannion, it's Eileen Magnier's time to shine

Sorry, Teresa Mannion but there's a new Six One weather reporter taking the spotlight.

Last night, RTE's Eileen Magnier broadcasted from Bundoran, Co. Donegal in a bid to keep the country updated on Storm Gareth.

Gusts up to 130kph shook Magnier as she listed the counties enduring a Status Orange wind warning.

Viewers took to the social media in their droves to compliment her professionalism and appealed to the national broadcaster to buy her a hat.
