Now Doireann is banking on more success

RISING television star Doireann Garrihy is banking on her talents to make her rich. The blogger, who has her own digital series with RTÉ, opened a business account this week. The Castleknock native, left, has been a breakout star on the comedy circuit as her uncannily accurate impressions have turned her into something of a star over the past year. She had some success as her first series The Doireann Project, a sketch show in which she impersonates various familiar Irish stars, ran on the RTÉ Player earlier this year. She is currently filming a second series. The broadcaster told RTÉ Entertainment she wants to break from online into onscreen: ‘With the stuff I’ve done online, I never actually sit down and write a script. I’m doing what I initially wanted to do but in such a roundabout way.’
