According to a statement from 2fm, The Green Room's Sunday night episode will be a chill-out show, while Monday to Thursday will feature a mix of new Irish music, including indie and alternative, plus interviews.

Jenny will also be performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra this summer in a range of concerts across the country.

"Some personal news to share, today was my last day presenting Drive Time on RTÉ 2FM. I’ve been incredibly lucky to present on daytime radio for the last seven years," said Greene, who will also be performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra this coming summer in a range of concerts across the country.

"Radio became a lifeline for us all over the last two years. At a time when we were all feeling very disconnected from friends and family, being able to connect with people and provide some light relief during a very dark time, has been both an honour and a privilege.

"I couldn't have gotten through the last two years without you guys tuning in, texting, and being a huge part of the show, so thank you so much.

"I also want to give a huge thank you to my incredible producer Reg Looby, who has worked tirelessly, to keep the show upbeat & fun, making sure we provided a light escape from some very dark days. Big thank you also to our most reliable BCO Diarmuid O’Brien.

"I joined 2FM in 2007 as a specialist music DJ and I have been given the opportunity to return to my first love and passion, which has always been music. I will be presenting a brand-new music show Sunday to Thursday 10:00pm to12:00am called The Greene Room.

"If this pandemic has thought us anything, it is to do what makes you happy and music has always been that consistent thing that has brought me so much joy.

"The Electric Disco will continue as normal every Saturday and I’m really excited to be given this new and exciting opportunity to showcase many different genres of music that I love. The Greene Room is my new orchard, and I am so excited "

Laura Fox becomes the new face of Saturday and Sunday mornings on 2FM from 9.00am with Laura Fox at the Weekend.

2FM says the show, "will feature a mix of the best music, ticket giveaways, and all positive vibes. On Saturday listeners will have the chance to win big with competitions and Laura will be chatting with some of Ireland's brightest people from music, fashion, beauty, and beyond".

Fox said: "I moved from Galway six years ago knowing absolutely nobody but with a mission to make it onto 2FM.

"After years of working every odd job under the sun, rejection, and heartache it’s finally happened - I have my own show!!!!! I can’t tell you how happy I am to be able to play great music, meet new people and keep everyone company every weekend from 9am."
