HAVE you ever sat back on your sofa during a massive sporting event watching a broadcaster at work and thought to yourself, perhaps maybe even with a hint of jealousy, ‘that’s something I’d love to do as a job’?
Well Athenry native Sarah Mulkerrins is one of those people you might be green with envy of, given her role working with the BBC involves covering some of the largest sporting occasions on the planet and often getting the chance to sit down and interview some of the world’s biggest stars.
