New Year's Eve Live - RTE ONE, 10.15PM

PeterTheNinth

"As the 1916 Centenary year comes to a close, join Clare Byrne, Kathryn Thomas and Bryan Dobson as we look back on a momentous year for Ireland".


I don't know about the rest of ye, but I honestly can't wait.. And when the grandkids ask me 'what did you do on New Year's Eve of 2017', I shall simply smile and say .. 'I spent it with Claire Byrne' .

Atlantic Dawn

Dobo is not their usual pick for these type of shows, hopefully he has a few festive shandys on him.

Harry Palmr

I'd happily spend the evening with Clair/Clare Byrne and Kathryn Thomas

But not tonight where I'll be watching MOTD on BBC Two

_Whimsical_

Katherine Thomas... again.
Can we have any occasion in this country without Katherine Thomas shrieking at us?

Go Harvey Go

I'll be watching Jools Holland.

Lady Chatterton

It's always been piss poor. Comedy for the mentally handicapped.

No . I went to an all Ireland final a few years ago to get away from her and guess who appeared at the side of the pitch before the match to interview and introduce an act...Katherine f.....g Thomas!

Welsh Megaman

You just know there is going to be so much misery p0rn in this

IamtheWalrus

Did Dobo just speak in a semi USA twang?

Lady Chatterton

This has too much of a Six One feel, I'm out...

IamtheWalrus

I always feel a bit sorry for the folk presenting these shows, trying to force enthusiasm. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, 100 billion is spent on fireworks.

PeterTheNinth

Michael D is wearing a suit? I was expecting him to arrive wearing something like this.

BorneTobyWilde

He talks fluent Leprechaun .

I dunno about the whole fireworks thing. Maybe 50 or 60 years ago fireworks were a big deal but today?

Welsh Megaman

What's with you Irish and fireworks?!

You need Dublin to look as if it's being blown up! Bigger and better than London!

Get on it!

BorneTobyWilde

Pan out, pan out.

You just don't understand the Irish, WMM. As you can see we're not all about building up the atmosphere, we're about killing it stone dead. I mean what in God's f**king name is the man droning on about.

BorneTobyWilde

Flux capacitor behind Michael

BorneTobyWilde

She asked a short question, answer 5 minutes long .
A simply yes would have done.

Welsh Megaman

Five minutes in, all my balloons have self-deflated.

He gets a laugh/applause for "stuff the turkey's hole with holly" so it must be from around 1979.

nagdefy

This is riveting stuff so far. I'm as excited as Fr. Stone at a funeral.

PeterTheNinth

Eh Michael, I don't think people referred to it as the "Great" war because it was great craic, they referred to it as "Great" because it was HUGE, some many countries were involved and so many people died.

Claire Byrne dressed like a Double Centre is just about keeping me awake.

BorneTobyWilde

He goes on and on and on and on
Should do ads for Fairy Liquid

Welsh Megaman

The RTE Player has just died of boredom.

BorneTobyWilde

I have never heard answers this long.
Still on second question 12 mins in

Okay, you won me back over with that one...
It may be possible for us to be friends in 2017.

nagdefy

Ah most of the commemorations were in March/April.

It feels a life time ago now. So much has happened in Ireland and the World since.

Welsh Megaman

Oh, we're back - Bressie on stage right now.

Addressing the crowd about mental health in 3...2...1...

He might save a few people after listening to Michael D.

BorneTobyWilde

Could be 2018 by the time he stops speaking.

Cortina_MK_IV

Can you get a rebate on your TV licence if you torch your telly?

Welsh Megaman

Mother of god, he's still talking

nagdefy

This long philosophical interview is out of place. It's NYE!

Welsh Megaman

Lashing it down in Dublin right now

baldbear

Thank God for Graham Norton.

Welsh Megaman

Was that chat moribund, I don't think so!

PeterTheNinth

Is she miming?

nagdefy

I though Claire Byrne was going to say 'right there Uachtarain we're going to have to stop you there as we're counting down the New Year'

She's singing live but it's not an easy song to sing : that wasn't pitch perfect
