Donal MacIntyre

Donal MacIntyre
Donal MacIntyre (born 25 January 1966, Dublin) is an Irish investigative journalist, specialising in investigations, undercover operations and television exposés. His work is in the area of care homes for the elderly and the learning disabled. He has won many awards for his work, but his style has also brought some detractors, from traditional journalists and among some people whose activities he had revealed.

The risks of repeatedly going undercover have meant that MacIntyre has increasingly turned to presenting on films where his colleagues have undertaken the undercover work. He has also branched out into more traditional presenting roles, on weather phenomena and wildlife documentaries on BBC TV and Five. In 2007 he directed the Sundance Film Festival premiered A Very British Gangster.
