[7] In the late 1990s Ingle moved to the Irish Times, first as a journalist, with her first archived article covering a new unit at Wheatfield Prison,[8] then also as a columnist,[3] and later also as deputy, and then daily, Features Editor.
[10] Ingle's columns, often sharing highly personal observations, are published weekly at the front of the Irish Times's weekend supplement.
[11] The Phoenix Magazine has commented that - on occasion - Ingle's writing in her column appears to be "...in part through the lens of a teenage girl with an axe to grind.
[24] Ingle hosted a show on Denis O'Brien's Newstalk, Weekend Blend, for a period in the mid-2000s, with Orla Barry succeeding her in 2008.
[25] Ingle has published two volumes based on collections of her Irish Times columns: She co-produced a book on mother-daughter relationships, which included an article on herself and her mother: She has edited: Ingle appeared on Miriam O'Callaghan's radio programme "Miriam meets..." for two joint interviews: in 2009, in the second episode of the whole series, with her mother, and in 2012 with her friend, Paul Howard.
[3] Ingle met her long-term life partner while accompanying a senior reporter, Patsy McGarry, who was covering Unionist protests at Drumcree in Portadown, in 2000.
Ingle was there to write feature pieces, and having met an Orange Order bandsman, Jonny Hobson, at a riot, planned an article on a day in his life.
