A professional matchmaker has encouraged people to form real life connections and stay off dating apps this Valentine's Day.
Hugh Redmond is the founder of 2connect.ie, a matchmaking service based in Dublin for all age groups. His business has been running for over a decade, with a 75 per cent success rate for those who attend his matchmaking events.
The week leading up to Valentine's Day is the busiest time of the year for Hugh. While people may be tempted to download Hinge or Tinder ahead of the big day, Hugh says these apps spell disaster for singles.
