Mairead was born and bred in Finglas on the Northside of Dublin. On a 2008 episode of The Panel, she admitted to have completed a year in Dundalk Institute of Technology but dropped out at the end of her first year on the consent of her mother. She has said she was "never academic".

Radio career

Farrell is featured on The Ray D'Arcy Show 9am to 12pm every weekday on Today FM.[2] Mairead initially interned on the show before being promoted to broadcasting assistant, and then becoming co-producer and featuring as an on-air contributor.

Television career

From November 2006 Mairead became a regular panelist on series five of the popular RTÉ show The Panel.[3] She is often the butt of the other panellists' jokes, as there is usually only one female panelist.

Mairead represented Ballymun Kickhams in the 2010 season of Celebrity Bainisteoir.

She is also a regular on Republic of Telly on RTE 2.

Personal life

It was announced on July 4th 2010 that her marriage to advertising executive Eamon Fitzpatrick had ended. They have a two-year-old son called Dara.[4]
