Watch: Teresa Mannion’s News Report On An Opera Singing Donkey Is Our New Favourite Thing
Teresa Mannion is back at it again, providing us the content we never knew we needed.
Transitioning from impeccable weather reporting, to something a little bit more niche, we saw Teresa head West on the 9 O’Clock news last night to visit a certain Donkey in Connemara.
Going viral this week, Harriet the singing donkey has even been compared Madam Butterfly… and yes, we agree!

We’re very glad Teresa made the very necessary journey to Galway to bring this news to us, and we’ll be falling asleep to the soothing tones of Harriet tonight.
Oh, Ireland…
