Hall was born in Newry in County Down in 1921. He left school at the age of 12 to work in a local shop. He also worked in London as a waiter before returning to Dublin. On his return he began a journalistic career with the Irish Independent and the Evening Herald. After that, he moved to RTÉ where he worked in the newsroom. From 1964 to 1971 he presented Newsbeat [1], a regional television news programme. He also presented The Late Late Show for the 1968/1969 season, but his lack of success in that seat led to the return of the previous presenter, Gay Byrne. When Newsbeat ended, Hall started writing and presenting Hall's Pictorial Weekly, a political satire show that ran for over 250 episodes until 1982. In 1978, Hall was appointed Ireland's national film censor. Jump to: navigation, search Newry (Irish: Iúr Chinn Trá) is the sixth largest city in Northern Ireland, and thirteenth in all-Ireland. ...
