Explainers

This is an explainer on the Proportional Representation vote system which Aisling created for news2day, the national children's news programme, during the Irish General Election in 2020. She came up with the idea of the classroom being a constituency to demonstrate how the votes are counted in the Irish electoral system. As reporter and producer she divised the script, storyboarded the shots required, and worked with a camera man to get the desired sequences. She then edited the package on Avid. The package aired live on the programme and went viral on social media with over half a million views across platforms.

Aisling reported at the top of the programme on what British and international newspapers were writing the morning after the news broke of the Monarch's death. After, she reported from outside Buckingham Palace with a vox pop of mourners laying flowers at the gates.
