Donal MacIntyre
Thursday 30th November 2006, 5.00pm (exit 6.00pm), Castlereagh College

Donal MacIntyre was born in Dublin in 1966.
Initially employed in print media, he worked as a news reporter for The Sunday Tribune and later with The Irish Press in Dublin.
He has written for The Guardian, The Mail and New Statesman among many other publications.
His first work in television was for the award winning BBC investigative sports strand, ‘On The Line' in 1993. For this programme he won awards in both Ireland and the U.S.A.
He then moved from the BBC to ITV's BAFTA winning ‘World in Action' investigative programme.
His growing profile led him to being poached back by the BBC to front a major undercover series.
The series would be shown around the world and made headlines everywhere it was broadcast. ‘MacIntyre Undercover' was screened in November 1999 and was the culmination of almost two years research by MacIntyre and his BBC team.
The series covered organised football violence, the fashion industry, abuse within care homes and Nigerian con men. With ‘Wild Weather', produced by the BBC science department, he became a mainstream presenter confirming his broad appeal. It was broadcast in the USA and fifty other countries. The series was nominated for a BAFTA.
In January 2003 MacIntyre joined FIVE in a high profile move. Programmes included, ‘MacIntyre UK Undercover', ‘MacIntyre's Millions', ‘MacIntyre's Underworld', 'Big Stings' and ‘Can Your Trust....?'
He continues to work on BBC projects while developing films and strands for FIVE.
