About us

It was some years before the next one was published - by the Irish News while she studied politics at the University of Ulster.

After a post-grad in journalism she worked for Citybeat and The Spectator in Bangor. A move across the water followed with a three-year stint at Radio Clyde in Glasgow.

She moved back home to Belfast to the BBC in 1998 and has been working across radio and television ever since. She became one of BBC Newsline's reporters seven years ago. She has a special interest in social affairs.

Outside of work Tara used to enjoy running. She's now running shorter distances: after her young children Daniel and Aimee!
