RTE viewers are praising Ryan Tubridy for his ‘powerful’ and emotional speech at the beginning of last night’s show.
He offered his condolences in light of the horrific murders of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee in Sligo earlier this week and sent a message of support to Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community.
Opening the show on Friday night, he said: “We need to begin tonight by being serious for a moment and to acknowledge that it has been a harrowing and at times bewildering week in this country, as you all know.
