Did you stay up?
A big thank you to, clockwise from top left: Kevin Higgins, Alan O’Reilly, Johnny Keenan, celebrity accountant Vanessa Foran, Ciaran Tierney, Marcel Kreuger, Olga Cronin and Jimmy Smyth, our panel on last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.
The show can be viewed in its entirety above.
So, what happened?
Carlow Weather Guy Alan opened proceedings with a very promising Electric Picnic forecast and generously hung around to contribute some quality, non-weather natter.
Guitarist and Presidential-hopeful Jimmy joined us ahead of a south Dublin gig to discuss his bid to rock the Aras..with Vanessa acting as campaign advisor…and the ‘weyr’ of new candidates.
Ciaran and Kevin, who, as journalist and lawyer respectively, are helping the Tuam survivors, gave us their impressions of Minister Zappone’s appeal to Pope Francis over exhumation of the mass grave. And Johnny shared his thoughts from the vigil at Tuam last Sunday
Marcel’s non-fiction buke club gave us two titles to ponder as Brexit looms: Borders by Kapka Kassakova and Hard Border by Darach Macdonald.
And everyone (apart from Johnny) made fun of Tyrone.
Bad language throughout.
Sorry.

Seriously, whoever does your headlines should take a bow.
Why do these nobodies deserve a soapbox?
What makes you a somebody, pray tell?
Not everybody made fun of Tyrone
