D'Arcy came to prominence in the 1990s with a television career on RTÉ, presenting children's television on The Den, a quiz show called Blackboard Jungle and the youth music show 2Phat. In the 2000s he presented television coverage of The Rose of Tralee beauty pageant each August for four consecutive years until 2010.[2]

D'Arcy rejoined RTÉ in 2015.[3]
