Ryan Tubridy gave an emotional opening monologue on Friday night’s RTE Late Late Show.
Just hours after the Taoiseach announced the lifting of almost all of Ireland’s Covid restrictions, Tubs echoed the sentiments of many viewers.
“Unwinding has begun and aren’t we grateful. The emergency pandemic measures will soon be a distant memory and I want to mark the night by saying it has been a career privilege for me and the team on The Late Late Show to have had your company through the hard and sad times,” he began.
