While working at Business & Finance Curran was involved in several prominent investigations.
He became deputy editor of Business & Finance two years after joining as a reporter, before leaving for RTÉ.
He joined Current Affairs as a senior financial journalist before becoming a television producer.
Curran went on to win national and international awards as a documentary producer and Editor.

He returned to RTÉ as Editor of Current Affairs, where he helped launch the Prime Time Investigates series of documentaries.
He was editor of the award winning Mary Raftery documentaries Cardinal Secrets and Broken Trust.
In 2003, he was appointed managing director of TV, at 37 the youngest person to hold the position, according to the Irish Independent and Irish Times.
He led a policy of increased investment in Irish TV production during his tenure, as RTÉ's commercial income grew to its highest historic level.
According to the Sunday Business Post Curran's tenure marked the first time editorial and commercial departments in TV were integrated under one managing director.
He previously served as the Director-General of RTÉ (Ireland's national broadcaster) from 2011 to 2016.

As well as representing the interests of public service media internationally the EBU provides a worldwide news service to its members, purchases international sports rights for its members, provides live classical and jazz concerts, provides a technology and innovation service, a media research unit and a range of television and radio content.
The EBU also operates an independent commercial subsidiary Eurovision Services, which provides distribution and production of large sporting events around the world.

According to the report 155m Euro of that revenue was generated through commercial activity, which means that, as a percentage of total income, commercial income is higher at RTÉ than at most other European Public Service Media organisations.
