Sunday Sermon Podcast Episode 4: Lowry, Bullying and George Clooney

Play

Here we go again folks! On this glorious day that sees Mick Lowry returned to the Dail, I reflect on his rise to glory and his place as the George Clooney of Irish politics.

In an unrelated note a comedian I do not know – Giles Brody – is putting on a play in Dublin’s Smock Alley Theater on March 1st and 2nd at 9PM. It stars Edwin Sammon (Bridget & Eamon), Philippa Dunne (Diet of Worms, The Walshes), Stephen Colfer (Dreamgun) and Hannah Mamalis (Ripper Street). It’s a farce about a psychiatrist so it should be a big hit with all those headbangers up in Dublin.
