[2] O'Flaherty began her career as a co-presenter of RTÉ's The Grip enabling her to travel the world covering sporting events and allowing her participate in many extreme sports such as skydiving and bungee jumping.
[1] This was followed by a stint in London as the host of TV3 Ireland's Irish Pepsi Chart Show which gave viewers the opportunity to travel to Sydney, Australia for the 2000 Summer Olympics.
O'Flaherty was signed to co-present Scottish Television's (STV) football show Scotsport,[3] along with Jim Delahunt and Julyan Sinclair.
The aim was to try and entice new and younger views to the flagship sport show but viewers tuned out and the presenters were criticised for their apparent lack of football knowledge.
Over 2,000 fans signed an online petition calling for O'Flaherty and Sinclair's dismissal however with a view base of over 250,000 this was a very small proportion.
