Later, she pleaded with Hughie for his forgiveness, but was met with a cold shoulder as he informed her she almost cost him his friendship with Zoe. In an attempt to smooth their relationship, Hughie told Zoe the truth about the car theft. Following this, an infuriated Zoe confronted Melanie in the office, but she denied everything. Concerned for the firm's reputation, Claire told Melanie to keep playing innocent. And Jess was shocked when she discovered a file for Goo Eyes that suggested Melanie contacted him through Joan's firm. Meanwhile, Claire warned Jess to stay quiet if she valued her job and Ruby scrambled to find a new couple to model Lorcan's jackets - which led Ellie to volunteer herself and Alex for the job. Overcome by his own trouble with Melanie, Alex bailed. RTE Fair City viewers raced to social media to share their reactions to all of tonight's drama. Pamela said: "Zoe and Hughie will torch the smart office." RTE Fair City tonight Michael remarked: "Hughie needs to go to the Garda." Another fan added: "Melanie's CV is fantastic... her last reference from goo eyes." Elsewhere on the show, Claire pressured Gwen to find a new housemate soon, otherwise threatening she would pick a new tenant for her. Meanwhile, Fergal clashed with Jacinta at home when she began to treat him like her caretaker. NEW HOME After hearing how she treats him, Gareth urged Fergal to move out and suggested he ask Gwen about her spare room. Despite not initially being keen on the idea, Gwen later reconsidered after she saw Jacinta snapping at Fergal in public. Following the encounter, Gwen agreed to include Fergal in the next round of interviews for the vacant room. And out of options, Ellie convinced Greg to do the shoot with her. When Sean asked Mondo to pay half of the loss from the promo, Mondo insisted that Comet wouldn't accept liability. Meanwhile, Holly promised Mondo that she would get Sean off their case- which she managed to do by charming him into agreeing to back off.

‘Leaving the role I loved was a terrible trauma' – Former RTE star lifts lid on real reason she quit station
The TV star told how she experienced a 'steady deterioration in working conditions' JO'S DONE 'Leaving the role I loved was a terrible trauma' – Former RTE star lifts lid on real reason she quit station EX-RTE star Joanna Donnelly has opened up about the "devastating" end to her role at Met Eireann. Meteorologist Joanna Donnelly left her forecasting role in Met Eireann back in April claiming it was a "very, very tough decision". 2 Joanna Donnelly quit her role in Met Eireann in April 2025 Credit: RTE 2 Joanna has admitted she left the station due to 'chronic stress and fatigue' At the time, Joanna confessed that she left the station as she felt it was the "right move" for herself and her family. However, in a recent interview with the Irish Independent, the 54-year-old revealed she took a step back from her role due to "chronic stress and fatigue". The Dublin native told how she had excellent colleagues at Met Eireann. But noted how their were too many restrictions in workplace which even extended to her volunteer work in the community. This included having to ask for permission every time she visited a school to talk to students about science. She said: "It started out that I had to ask for permission if I was to appear in the media in an area unrelated to my job. My initial interpretation was that if there was no conflict of interest with my work as a weather forecaster, then it shouldn't matter." Joanna explained how she experienced a "steady deterioration in working conditions" as the station eroded simple things in which her team took for granted. This included a fixed rotating roster that was "predictable, fair and balanced". After years of built-up stress, Donnelly noticed herself getting hit by a wave of "chronic fatigue". She remarked: "I am a usually fit and healthy person. I run, I swim, I cycle everywhere and I do a daily yoga practice. I don't smoke and I only drink to excess at book club. RTE release new trailer for The Traitors Ireland and reveal date it will hit screens - and it's sooner that you think "I blamed Covid. I blamed post-Covid. I blamed post-viral infections. I blamed menopause. In fact, I mostly blamed menopause." Joanna told how she spent a "fortune" at the doctors who took blood tests to try and "unearth what was wrong". She added: "No one ever suspected it could have been that I was stressed. Why would I have been stressed by a job that I loved, that inspired me and, even better, allowed me to inspire others?" Donnelly said that being employed by Met Eireann was her dream job and that she never imagined she would leave it. 'THIS IS NOT RIGHT' The TV star continued: "Nobody else could imagine me leaving either, and I think that was part of the problem. I kept saying, 'You can't do this. This is not right.' "But they thought 'What is she going to do?' It is very hard to leave. I was traumatised." Joanna went on to say that while it was scary to think about re-entering the job market in her 50s, she knew she had made the correct decision in leaving. And Met Eireann recently made a statement indicating that it was unable to comment on what Donnelly had said about her time there. The department clarified in the Sunday Independent: "Met Eireann, the Irish National Meteorological Service, is a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. "As an employer, the department has a duty to its employees not to disclose any information of a personal nature and accordingly, the department does not comment on any matters related to individual members of staff. "As a Division of a Civil Service Department, all employees of Met Eireann are civil servants."
