“Poll-topping brothers Michael and Danny Healy Rae of Kerry’s foremost political dynasty will guest on this Friday’s Late Late Show to share their thoughts on who will from the next government,” according to a release from RTÉ.
That will provide an interesting insight into the political thinking behind the major news story of General Election 2016 in Kerry and well beyond.

You can see now why Cormac MacConnell suggested that the increasingly embattled US presidential candidate, Donald Trump

might take a tip or two from either of the pair of books on the Healy Rae phenomena by journalist, Donal Hickey.

“They will talk to host Ryan Tubridy about the secret to the campaign success which resulted in the pair being the first brothers elected to the same constituency in the same election,” according to the release.

And…for Golfers….

And for golfers on this week’s Late Late Show: A year on from his play-off win at the Honda Classic in Florida, Padraig Harrington talks about the yips and gives a glimpse into his home life. Earlier this week Padraig invited Ryan to spend a few hours in his “man cave” to play pool, have a whirl on the pinball machines and gave Ryan a private lesson in his golf simulator. Ryan’s shot travelled 33 yards whilst Padraig’s hit an impressive 280 yards.
Padraig’s verdict on Ryan’s golfing skills? “At least you hit it – but maybe stick to the night job… and the day job.”
