He takes up the role from today and is responsible for reporting across digital, radio and television on all aspects of life in Britian including political, economic, cultural and social affairs.
Mr Meskill has been a journalist with RTÉ News for eight years, most recently as part of its political unit, reporting from Leinster House and the European Parliament.
He joined the newsroom in 2016, working across several different programmes, including news2day and Morning Ireland.
Mr Meskill has also presented programmes such as RTÉ Radio 1’s This Week and RTÉ One’s European Parliament Report, as well as being an occasional newscaster.

Reacting to his appointment, Mr Meskill said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed as RTÉ’s new London Correspondent.
“It comes at a busy time, ahead of a general election which could bring about significant change for the country. It’s an honour to have been chosen and I’m very excited to get started”.
The role was previously held by John Kilraine, who has recently completed his contract and returned to work with RTÉ News and Current Affairs in Dublin.
