Louise McSharry

And thank you so much for listening.

I really appreciate you being here and never, ever take it for granted.

So thank you so much.

I hope you have a lovely next couple of days.

But of course, they can't all be lovely.

Hello my friend and welcome to Catch Up with Louise McSharry.

This is the podcast where I do my best to keep you caught up with what's going on in the world.

On Mondays we talk news, on Wednesdays it's entertainment and on Friday reality television my friends.

I am sorry that today's episode is late.

We are in an unusual situation because Carl is not available this week so I had the journal editor Sinead O'Carroll who is absolutely wonderful filling in for him but she unfortunately just couldn't record until a little bit later than usual.

So it's here on

We're finally talking about news again.

And I believe Carl will be back next week, which would be wonderful.

And then we can really get back into our normal rhythm of life.

For now, though, let's get into the news.

Sinead O'Carroll, editor of thejournal.ie.

Thank you so much for making yourself available this week in Carl's absence.

I couldn't do another week without a news episode.

It's actually been weeks because since we've done a regular news episode because I was away on holidays.

So myself and Carl had kind of pre-recorded some stuff.
