Patrick Freyne at The Late Late / 'Atlantic' documentary

Irish Times Off Topic

Patrick Freyne spent a Friday embedded with Ryan Tubridy and the The Late Late Show team, observing how they prepare for the night ahead. He joins Laurence, media columnist Laura Slattery and former TLLS researcher Donal Scannell to pull back the curtain on all the pizzazz and look at the evolution of this most familiar of Irish programmes. In part two: a new documentary tells the story of how Ireland has squandered its marine resources of fish and oil. Director Risteard Ó Domhnaill speaks to Laurence and Irish Times Marine Correspondent Lorna Siggins about what's at stake for the nation and particularly for communities on the Western seaboard.
