Louise McSharry

Thank you to Alice O'Brien, who is assistant producer.

And thank you so, so much for listening.

If the next couple of days do not treat you well, first of all, I'm so sorry to hear that.

But second of all, you're going to get through them.

We are going to put one foot in front of the other.

And we are going to keep going.

And we will be together again on Friday night.

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 is going on in the world, and that includes on a bank holiday Monday.

Yes, that's right.

It is May 4th, bank holiday, and here in Ireland, if you're listening abroad, which means that we get an extra day to the weekend, and it's pretty nice.

However, the news doesn't sleep, so myself and Carl, we're still on hand to take you through the week's stories.

Good morning, Carl Kinsler.

Happy bank holiday to you.

How are you?

How was your weekend?

I am terrible at pool.

Any tips?

Please do because my kids love to play pool, but I'm so, I don't like to do anything that I'm bad at.

It's one of my worst character traits.
