Doireann Garrihy reveals the reason she doesn't like staying at her boyfriend's house

Doireann Garrihy has revealed the real reason she doesn't like staying over at her boyfriend's house.

The RTE presenter, 30, went public with her comedian boyfriend Mark Mehigan back in January but she told listeners that she can't get a good night's sleep when she stays at his place.

Doireann, who starts her 2FM Breakfast show at 6am, said that noisy seagulls start 'squawking' outside his window before her alarm goes off and wake her up.

“There is something I’d like to get off my chest,” she told her RTE 2FM listeners yesterday. “I look a bit puffy.

“We get up at literally the crack of dawn, nobody can argue with that.

“I was working until fairly late last night, but I don’t know what I’m going to do about the seagulls on the Southside of Dublin.

“My boyfriend Mark lives on the Southside, out near Dun Laoghaire. It’s a gorgeous spot honestly and I’m looking forward to it now during the summer.

“But the seagulls are robbing my sanity and my sleep.

“They make this awful noise. If it was throughout out the night you’d accept that it was torture.

“But they do it about 40 minutes before my alarm goes off. That 40 minutes is key.

“So that is the difference between getting a good night's sleep and a terrible sleep.

“It’s so inconsiderate," she continued. “They don’t even sing. They squawk."

Doireann begged her listeners for tips on advice on how to deal with the problem and joked it was a controversial topic.

“Claire Byrne wouldn’t touch this subject. She would run a mile,” Doireann joked.
