Who was the first presenter of the Irish television adaptation called Dragons' Den?

The story behind the answer

Richard Curran was the first presenter of the Irish television adaptation called Dragons' Den.

The Irish edition is a separate national adaptation of the international Dragons' Den format. It began broadcasting on RTÉ, Ireland’s public-service broadcaster, and used Irish entrepreneurs and investors while retaining the central pitch-and-equity structure.

Richard Curran, an Irish journalist and broadcaster, presented the first series. His role was distinct from that of the Dragons, who questioned contestants and considered whether to invest. The Irish panel has changed over time, just as the British panel has changed.

International viewers can easily confuse this answer with Evan Davis, the original presenter of the British version. Davis belongs to the BBC programme, while Curran belongs to the Irish adaptation. The country in the question is therefore essential to identifying the correct presenter.
