Ex-Presidential Candidate, Peter Casey is doing a project for Newstalk which will be on air in 2019.

Casey finished second behind Michael D Higgins and grabbed 23% of the vote.

Reports are saying that Casey will be involved with the news station for a period of time but "will not present his own show."

He will record a number of "individual reports" for Newstalk.
