news2day is an Irish children's television news programme, broadcast weekdays at 5pm on RTÉ Two. It is eight minutes long, and is similar in format to the BBC's Newsround.[1]

The programme is presented by Yvonne Redmond who joined the team in August 2009 and Aidan Kelly, who joined in August 2010.[2] The programme is aimed at children between the ages of seven and twelve, and is presented in a child-friendly manner, making it easy for children to understand and to gain an interest in the news.
