Nothing seems to faze the O’Donovan brothers. Not reaching an Olympic final, not winning a silver medal, not vomiting mid-interview, not talking to the BBC, not being mobbed on their return to Cork.
Gary and Paul were destined for show business and in Ireland there is no business, like Show Business, no business I know… other than The Late Late Show.
Looking dapper in their red (Gary) and blue (Paul) suits, the Skibbereen brothers were in predictably flying form as they took to that weird brick colosseum in Montrose to duke it out with Ryan Tubridy.
They answered a few vital questions: Yes, they are headed for Copper Face Jacks on Friday night, they love their Granny and ‘Pull Like a Dog’ makes sense because of sled dogs.
They showed no signs of nerves as they joked with Tubridy that he was the nervous one pre-show, before producing their rather well-worn medals.
