FIRST DATES IRELAND
RTE Two, 9.30pm
There’s double trouble in the First Dates restaurant as cousins Darragh and Alan look for love.
The best friends have been matched up with two lovely ladies, but will there be a spark?
Darragh’s date, ultra-confident Emma, is delighted to discover he’s a doctor who can cook.
Meanwhile, lifeguard Jane is ecstatic to find out her date Alan shares her love of Harry Potter.
When Dubliner Gemma last entered the restaurant, her blind date turned out to be a guy she had dated before. Now she’s back and looking for a proper ‘first date’. Enter another familiar face, former Head 2 Toe presenter Pat O’mahony.
Before entering the restaurant, teacher Tom, from Kildare, was already catching the eye of his date – former boyband member Dean, while on the Luas on his way to the date.
Finally, actor and Oscar Wilde enthusiast Patrick from Cavan learns the importance of being earnest with dressed-to-kill entrepreneur Valerie.
