EXCLUSIVE! Ireland AM's Karen Koster admits working during the pandemic was her 'lifeline'

The popular presenter revealed she counts herself "lucky" to have the job

Karen Koster has admitted working in Ireland AM during the pandemic was her “lifeline”.” “It meant I got to get out of the house and to see my friends at work and it basically became the way I socialised.“I saw more my work gang then anyone really, more than friends, family, parents,” she admitted.” Ireland AM have announced that they are introducing pods into their studio, to help reduce the number of people the team are in contact with, with Karen explaining: “It’s a precautionary system introduced because of the rising cases.

ie ahead of Virgin Media Television’s Virtual Spring Launch, the Killiney native said: “It’s been a lifeline to be honest.“We have been so lucky that we continue to broadcast every single day since March without there being a positive case in studio among the crew and presenters.
