Carl Mullan to Join Roz Purcell and Aisling Bonner on New breakfast Show
irish radio host Carl Mullan is set to embark on a new chapter in his career. After successfully co-hosting the 2FM Breakfast Show with Aifric O’Connell, he will be joining forces with Roz Purcell and Aisling Bonner on a fresh iteration of the show.
Mullan’s exciting news comes after a memorable incident during his previous stint on the 2FM Breakfast Show. Last year, he took to Instagram to share a story about how Aisling, his co-host at the time, went into labor while he was live on air.
“I’d like to bring you back to this day last week when everything started out as normal on the 2FM Breakfast Show,” he began, sharing a clip of the show.
He went on to explain the importance of him and Donncha being the only hosts on air that day,”The reason why it was vital that it was only Donncha and myself on the breakfast show is that the last time Aisling was pregnant and went into labor, two years ago, it was only Donncha and myself on the air that day,” he shared.
He recalled the moment a phone call from his wife, Ash, interrupted the show, announcing the arrival of their baby, ”Doireann was on her holidays, and during the show two years ago I got a phone call from Ash to say she had gone into labour. I had to abandon Donncha live on the air and go become a dad.”
In a previous interview on Brendan O’Connor’s RTÉ Radio 1 show, Mullan reflected on the profound impact fatherhood has had on his life.
The new Breakfast show promises to be an exciting platform for conversation and entertainment, with Mullan’s warmth, humor and experience perfectly complementing the dynamic duo of Purcell and Bonner.

That’s probably the biggest thing I’ve had to try and figure out.” It’s a poignant acknowledgement of the bittersweet nature of this journey.
As responsibilities shift and priorities evolve, the familiar contours of one’s life reshape. the realization dawns: “You realize, oh, it’s gone. It is not coming back, I keep thinking it’s coming back – it’s not.” These words capture the poignant acceptance that the past, while cherished, is irretrievably gone, paving the way for a new chapter.
