Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on January 25, 1966)

Happy birthday, Donal MacIntyre! Whether infiltrating shady underground gangs or dodging danger in undercover pursuits, you've always known how to liven up investigative journalism—and we applaud your fearless dashes into places most journalists wouldn't touch with a ten-foot microphone. Your daring work on "MacIntyre Investigates" and "On-The-Line" truly showed us that where troubles stew, there's probably you – camera ready.

From gritty exposés for The Guardian and Daily Mail to stunning revelations in The Sunday Tribune, you've proven you're no ordinary reporter—you're Ireland's own journalistic daredevil. May the coming year deliver stories as thrilling as knowing what disguises you'll wear next!
