Declan Curry is an Northern Irish journalist and presenter who is currently the Business Correspondent for BBC Breakfast and BBC News.
Curry was born and raised in Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland; he moved to London to study chemistry at Imperial College, where he worked mainly for IC Radio and ICNN (Imperial College News Network), as well as the weekly paper, Felix.[citation needed]
He has also worked for the BBC News channel since the channel's inception in 1997. He has also worked for BBC World News, ABC News, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 4, and LBC. Curry is best known for his reporting of the happenings in the London Stock Exchange and other British economic news, particularly during the Breakfast programme on BBC One.
On May 23, 2005, he became the 'most prominent BBC news scab' when he crossed a picket line of staff striking against announced pay cuts. [1] [2]
Curry also had a segment on ABC World News Now where he presented lighthearted news from the BBC News bureau in London. However, this segment has not aired on the show recently.
