Niall Toibin is retired I'd say. He must be well into his 80's. Frank Twomey still does panto and the like.

She's used to get bashed for her singing-so fair play for her singing along-even Bosco mentioned it that people said she 'sang like a crow'. She's also aged remarkably well.
Fair play being a good sport.

Not related to that topic but...

Was gonna mention Tom McCaughren-but he popped up on a TV3 documentary on the worst crimes in Irish history a few days back. The discussion was on Malcolm MacArthur.
Does he still write novels? He had a series about foxes that were great set of novels.

Anyone know who the presenter in this clip is? Shes one of the two talking at the end, the attractive one without glasses. She's familiar from something but can't place her.

Remember Janice Byrne who played that nurse in Plebs that Stylax got on well with because they both used the word "goolies"? Is she still acting?

Has a twitter-has moved into theatre I believe. Most recent tweet was from months ago, but that's theatre for ya.

Sorta similar to what happened with Orla Fitzgerald-she was pretty much everywhere acting wise, from Wind that Shakes the barley, to...brr...the last Furlong (that absolute abomination Simon Delaney took credit for).

She disappeared, then in the last few years reappeared, and is now in Young Offenders.

Not a but celebrity as such (celebrity bankrupt maybe) but has Mick Wallace T.D. gone untypically quiet recently? And his sidekick Clare Daly. They'd normally be good for wading into the current controversies but I haven't heard anything from either of them. Or have I just not been paying attention?

Pic of both today online, talking re the 8th ref.

Auntie Poppy. She must be dead by now, I think she was in the Little Rascals or something like that when she was a child.

I'm pretty sure I saw him on Eco Eye a few weeks ago, he was presenting with some Dr something. She had a different surname so mayby not his daughter, but possible.

May have been a repeat?

Always liked Dermot, he always seemed really passionate about his work whenever he was on TV. Hope he is keeping well.

Went bankrupt. Not joking, had some hedge fund set up, which had 13 million euros invested in it, from other investors-and he lost 90 percent of it.

Then a liquidator was called in.

He's kept quiet for good reason-seems he was the last person you'd want to ask for money advice.

Far be it from to defend the Hobbit, but he didn't go bankrupt.

The Brendan Investments fund did go bust, after some people got large fees out of it.

Eddie is still a financial adviser and still banging his Renua style anti-public-sector drum on LinkedIn, if you like that sort of thing.

Eddie Hobbs. Back in the 2000s he was a regular on various RTE programmes, published a series of books, got regular coverage in the media etc.etc. I know he was involved with the Renua party in the run up to the last general election but since then he seems to have vanished.

Last heard of him doing what he advised others not to do, fell off a ladder and injured himself. Carbon monoxide a silent killer. That was a ridiculous ad with Duncan and his high pitched voice. He was trying to get the daughter on the Rte bandwagon, she was swanning around for a few months. Haven't heard anything from them in a while, maybe 2-3 years

I've noticed a few RTE spawn are trying to make it at the broadcaster with little success. Lottie Ryan has been trying for a good ten years, Stewart's daughter disappeared (she's not even on eco eye). It's really strange, but really positive I think.

In days gone by, you only had to know someone to get a gig in Rte-such as Ryan, or marry into Rte royalty, like Brendan o'Connor.
Hope there is more scrutiny.

The girl diving on that Irish Life pension ad. Don't even know who she is. Used to see that ad a lot though, 12 or so years ago.

Not sure if she's been in anything else.
