Bláthnaid at home - Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh opens her home to the cameras for the first time, she chats to Janice Butler of the RTÉ Guide about career, family life, and self-esteem.
On family life, Bláthnaid says she's had to adjust to her children growing up:
“You shrink and they grow and their wants and needs vary”
“You have children and you love and adore them, but they turn into strong individuals and everyone has different opinions. We can’t even agree on getting a Chinese for dinner”.
With International Women's Day coming up, Bláthnaid spoke about sexism in the workplace:
“I know in the past I was treated differently to my male co-presenters because I’m a woman, be it negotiating contracts or money. Looking back, I don’t think it’s done consciously, but people think "You couldn’t be the bread-winner"
