You obviously don’t know a lot about the irish TV market. The industry/sector is booming at the moment and has been steadily increasing over the past 5 years. Crying out for skilled staff. So no it’s not necessary to move to UK to have a decent career here in that sector. Many irish production companies supply to international vendors such a bbc Netflix etc. Not just the two main broadcastersShe entered an MTV competition after college and got a fast-track to a TV presenting gig and all that comes with it. There's a lot of things to complain about with this one, but moving to London is absolutely not one of them. RTE is practically bankrupt and has been for years and TV3/whatevertheycallitthesedays is twice as bad and that about sums up the Irish TV market.
