Met Éireann presenter Joanna Donnelly shares her favourite memories, guilty pleasures, and aspirations. She discusses her love for Christmas movies, her wish to play the piano, and her dedication to her principles.

I have exceptionally long fingers, in fact somebody on Twitter recently called me “man hands”, which I thought was appropriate because my hands are bigger than most men’s.

You could still pull them out to teach people how not to be bad. They’re also much easier reads than people probably think, they’re not hard at all.I’ll be retired. My husband Harm and I might go back to the Netherlands because he’s lived his life here and we’ve raised our children here.
