Who will be the hosts for Ireland AM Live broadcast from Cork?
The picturesque city of Cork will set the stage for this momentous occasion, with the broadcast originating from two iconic locations. The main trio of hosts, Muireann O’Connell, Tommy Bowe, and Alan Hughes, will take centre stage at the historic Cork Opera House on Leeside. Meanwhile, reporter Deric Hartigan will be stationed at the newly renamed Virgin Media Park, the home of Munster rugby.
To amplify the excitement, Ireland AM has lined up a stellar guest list for the Cork broadcast. The evening will feature local legends such singer Camille O’Sullivan, actor Shane Casey from Young Offenders, social media celebrity and chef Trisha Lewis, and former rugby internationals Tomás O’Leary and Andrew Conway. Interviews with prominent Cork personalities, such as the Echo Boy, David Hogan, and Michael Collins’ granddaughter Fidelma Collins, will also be included in the show.
Culinary delights await as Cork chef Jack O’Keefe showcases his skills on the show, and the musical backdrop will be provided by the talented Cork band True Tides.
The decision to broadcast from Cork comes on the heels of Virgin Media’s landmark naming rights deal for Munster Rugby’s home grounds. Virgin Media Park, as it is now known, promises to be a hub of excitement for rugby enthusiasts in the region.
In the midst of the anticipation surrounding the Cork broadcast, Ireland AM host Alan Hughes took to Instagram to caution fans about a scam involving him and fellow Virgin Media Television star Brian Dowling. Hughes reassured viewers that the purported scheme, which claimed to offer opportunities for making money, was a “total scam.” The host urged viewers not to engage with it, emphasising the importance of vigilance against online scams.
The Ireland AM live broadcast from Cork promises to be a memorable event, blending the charm of the city with the energy of live television. As the hosts and guests come together to celebrate Virgin Media’s partnership with Munster Rugby, viewers can expect a morning filled with entertainment, insights, and the unique flavour that Cork has to offer.
