The Late Late Show returns on Friday night

An interview with Rory McIlroy, filmed at Royal County Down ahead of this week's Irish Open, will air during the programme, while Liverpool comedian John Bishop will be in studio, as will a number of Ireland's Olympics and Paralympics athletes.

"He gave me my senior start and I played senior football for Dundrum whenever I was 15, and then the late, great Pat O’Hare would have been my Games Teacher at St Pat’s Grammar School in Downpatrick. He coached and was the trainer alongside Pete McGrath for Down’s win in 1994. Looking back on it now, there were so many amazing people."

"Playing with the brother, the two of us on the team, the first round of the championship in ‘88 we played Derry, and we won that game, and he scored four points and I didn’t do too bad in nets that day so that was a proud day." Kielty Park "Having the field named after the aul fella is just the greatest thing. I suppose at the time when it was named after him you didn’t realise what a big deal it is, but then with the passing of time and new generations coming through, it starts to mean that wee bit more.

Death of Eddie McKay The aforementioned Eddie McKay had a huge influence on Kielty and was the first person to play him in goal. He sadly passed last month.
