Hi, welcome to Take Talk and T-Wise on ClareFem.
I'm Eva Singleton and for the next hour we have lots of chats and tunes coming up.
So stay tuned to Heroes interview a very popular influencer with over 300,000 followers
and hear from famous sports people and school figures from across the county.
I'm here with my team at T-Wise, Faye, Chloe, Shnade, Thomas, Willow, Bella, Dahi, Alberto,
Naomi and IFA.
We're all from different schools, including Gloucetamora, Ennis, St. Patrick's Comprehensive
Shannon, Ennisdamy Community School, Rice College, St. Flannins and Villiers.
Starting off for our first guest is a social media influencer who has a large following
amongst young people in Clare, even though he's from Carrie himself.
Bella from Rice College is interviewing Shane McCarthy.
How did you get into social media?
I always kind of say it was maybe accidental.
I never really had intentions or maybe turn it into a full-time job or doing it the way
I do now.
But I feel like always the best things in life happen accidentally, you know what I mean?
And I just fall in love with it and each day I just fall in love with it more, do you
get me?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, next question.
What makes you stand out to your audience?
I feel like there was a couple of different reasons I suppose.
One of them I suppose was being a traveler, but not just that because there is other travelers
that do social media as well.
But I suppose also being gay and from the LGBTQ community, but two of those combined and
I suppose my humor and maybe the way the way I story tend to stuff like that, those
are a couple of things that I think kind of stands me out.
All right.
Okay, next question.
What is your go-to Chinese order?
Olga, stand up for seizure because this is my thing is I love a spice bag.
I love extra sugar, no veg, veg cannot be in the equation.
And bike rice, curry sauce, satay sauce, chicken cheese ring rolls and chicken satay secures
and two cook zeros.
Oh, lovely.
Are you hyped?
Are you hyped for your next visit to Turkey?
Say that one more time, sorry?
Is it?
Are you hyped for your next visit to Turkey?
Girl, I'm a mix between excited and mixed between nervous, but you know what?
It'll be okay.
And I do like Turkey.
Oh, fair enough.
Okay, next question.
What do you do in your free time?
To be honest with you, in my free time, I suppose lately I actually have a part time job as
well, which I've actually started because I like that a bit of routine in my life rather
than being traveling around and under go and in different places all the time.
And I also just like doing like normal things like just like maybe meet my friend eating
a bit of food, going for food, going for a walk, you know, like normal stuff, onto the
cinnamon stuff.
Lovely.
Okay.
Do you get any benefits from TikTok?
I suppose, just as I mentioned earlier is I suppose it turned into my full time job.
So like I get to work with maybe brands that I've always wanted to work with or dream
about.
And I suppose I got one to have a half month social media.
You can kind of maybe use that as a tool for other things such as I have my own podcast
now.
So definitely.
Do you think social media should be banned for under 16s?
With this question right now, I'm always going to answer each question honestly.
I think I don't know how to answer that question, but I definitely think not only just for 16
years, but I feel like even now I'm a, I'm sensitive as a person and I'm 24 nearly 25s.
I know what it's like when you're 16 or when you're young, you're brain as well as trying
to figure yourself out.
I still am even trying to figure myself out.
So with social media, I feel like it can be really negative sometimes, especially maybe
with online bullying or people's opinions.
I definitely think there needs to be a lot more put in place for a younger people and
for the whole app in general, regardless of your age, that's a lovely answer.
Okay.
Last question.
If you could send a message to yourself five years ahead, what would you say?
I would tell him, okay, that you know what, there's going to be a lot of, there's going
to be a lot of like challenges obstacles in your way.
They're going to be hard, but you are going to overcome them and it's going to be so,
so worth this.
Oh, that's lovely.
That was my last question anyway.
So thank you.
Fear, please.
And thank you so much as well.
Okay.
Thank you.
And have a nice day.
Oh, you do.
You do.
Our next guest is a principal from St. John Bosco Community College, Kill Dicers.
And Alberto from Rice College is interviewing Dennis O'Rourke.
What is the position on the use of phones in your school?
The position of the use of phones in our school, well, it's currently restricted, as you
know, it's restricted nationally across the country.
But that I suppose that ban has always been in our school.
I see it as a break for our students, not using the phone inside in school and taking
the break away from social media and actually time to converse and to communicate and to
interact with each other about break times and lunch times.
Do you think it was successful?
I do think so.
We actually don't use the mobile phone pouches here a better because we felt we didn't
need to introduce such a ridges intervention into the restricting views of the phones.
Our students are requested to leave their phones in their lockers and we hadn't much
issues with that and we have fairly good compliance with that and we do feel that the students
are getting that break that we want from social media and technology.
What do you think is the biggest issue with phones in school?
From an education point of view, it's the distraction.
It's the notifications that students, young person, constantly on call every time the
phone, things, but secondly, we're checking the phones and checking the phones and we're
very conscious of how consumed you can be, especially into the area of social media and
Snapchat.
You know, like students have to read the snap and then you have to respond because you
can't allow people seemingly, you can't leave people hanging that you have to give an
answer or some form of response straight away.
It's a massive distraction when it comes to the area of education and trying to work
inside in class.
I think, you know, the biggest thing is the distraction and the feeling of on call all
of the time.
Do you find phone distractions personally?
I do, in one sense, since in my own role, I can mean if I'm in meetings or if I'm in
interviews or, you know, speaking with a student or whatever, my phone goes off.
Obviously, in terms of if we say phones for the purposes of communication, I feel that
it is slightly different.
It's important that I have, and people have direct access in the event of an emergency
in my role as principal of the school.
But in terms of social media, I think that really should be curtailed.
I don't need direct access to social media.
Yes, we use it here in the school in terms of advertising or that's happening here in
the school.
But that can happen at certain times, viewing that can happen at certain times and it's
easy.
In our group, we average four hours screen time daily.
How does this compare to yours?
And while are we talking about four times being on a device, are four times engaging and
looking at social media to take time for the one?
Four hours being in total, yeah, on to a phone.
Okay, and look, I possibly feel that that's too much, but it's amazing 10 minutes here
and there and everywhere, over the course of the school day, I suppose that can add up
very quickly to four hours.
But certainly I'll be looking at morning time, standing, waiting on buses, it's amazing,
you might be on my journey into school, you'll be passing groups there of two and three
students waiting and every one of them on their phone and they're not talking to each
other or not interacting with each other.
And I do feel from that point of view, these phones, they have a negative impact from that
point of view, as in younger people lose touch with how to communicate with each other,
they would sooner send a text message over WhatsApp or send a snap of whatever, which
they find much easier, maybe asking someone a question, asking what they have for homework
or whatever.
I'd much prefer to see that they're actually face-to-face conversation or even dialing
the number and actually picking up and speaking directly with them.
Now at the same time, I do see a huge advantage in terms of research using it for the
purposes of, again, access to an educational platform, Google School, and so on, and
also social media, keeping up to date with what's happening around them.
All of that's important, but certainly, I don't think four hours is a requirement.
If you look at the length of time that you're awake, if you take four hours over death,
it's a large proportion of your day spent on this device.
What app do you find the most distracting for teenagers and especially you?
From my own experience, I would say the likes of Snapchat is opposed to TikTok, like
TikTok is something that you sit down and stay scrolling and scrolling.
I know it can be quite addictive, but I just think from the distraction point of view,
TikTok is something you make a decision to sit down and to look, and the thing is to
remind yourself to come off of it, but I do feel that it's the Snapchat puts the pressure
on.
You're getting the pictures like girls sending pictures to each other of how they look
before they go out and all of that, like you've been not kind of fixed from that.
That's both the peer pressure, and look what I'm doing now, I'm heading off to Barcelona
and this is what I'm wearing, this is what I'm bringing versus the student that's looking
at us, or the young person looking at us, and they're at home, they might not be going
anywhere for the weekend.
Like that type of thing, you're constantly comparing yourself to others that are having
it better, but what they don't realize is people will only put up stuff when they feel
that this is better, so I need to post this.
We don't need to see everything removed that everyone is making, but also I suppose the
notion of every young person knowing that would be in track nearly 24 or 7, exactly very
well.
You can tell where people are, like I don't see a need for this, so that would definitely
be it really with that, but I would say you're answering your question, Snapchat, I find
it's the biggest distraction, it's the notifications, and I know even I've said to parents that
talks, if we all agree, all notifications should be turned off at a certain time in
evening, but still not out as young people, you'll look and you'll check and see, well did
I get a snap?
And if you did then, you're obliged then to respond to that, so that's where I find
Snapchat, I suppose, out of all of them, my opinion is that it would be the most influential
and the most distracting.
What is the position, finally to finish off, what do you think about charge GBT and the
use of AI?
I actually think it is a good thing, it is removing the personal touch, I suppose from
say if you're trying to write a letter or a CV or research or whatever, I wouldn't be
100% reliance on its accuracy, and I think that's something that everyone should keep
in mind.
I do feel, no, it can be used in very positive ways in terms of if a student say is studying
geography, for example, and they're after completing a chapter and if they take pictures
of the content of that chapter and that's for a summary, I think it would be an excellent
way of revising and so on, but I do feel in terms of work that's been handed up for assessment
if it's to be student work, it should 100% be the words of that student, and I suppose
that's what you're losing when it comes to AI and chat GPC, but absolutely as a research
tool, maybe, obviously again, that you verify its accuracy, but also a means of giving
you ideas, I think it should be really used in that area, but then convert that into
your own work and build the bigger picture and you're submitting something then as your
own work.
So you've plenty of tradplayers in our group and here's a tune from E-Fension 8.
There would be no point calling the show TikTok and T-Wise if there was no talking, so here's
Willow from St. Patrick's Comprehensive Shannon with our group discussion.
We're going to be talking about all of the issues today, first we're going to start off
talking about T-Wise Media Week. Thomas, what do you think about what we've been doing
this week? Well, I think that it's been a great chance for us to see what it's like actually
working in a radio station and using our kind of creativity to create something new, which
this week will create a new radio show, which I think is absolutely brilliant and it's
a great opportunity for us to have. I agree with Thomas. My favourite thing we did
software was the interviews because we got to interact with people and show what we
have learned. I've certainly loved interviews and I think it was a fantastic experience
in doing people and talking to people. Love Island finished a few weeks ago, but we've
been talking about it and I'd just like to know what you think about what happened on
the show. I find it very entertaining. Some of the stuff on it I think is just for the
TV, but it's entertaining anyways. And I think the winners, Sam and Kiran, we're very
deserving because I think they were the realest couple on this. I agree that there was
a lot of jam around the island this year and not the girls, but with each other and I also
think that Sam and Kiran would serve winners. Have you been watching anything interesting
that you'd like to talk about on any streaming platforms recently?
Yeah, I've been watching Bridgeton. It's the fifth season I think and it's really good.
It's interesting, but setting it in. Are you excited for the next half of it to be
coming out soon? Yeah, I'm excited to watch it. I do love Bridgeton. It's full of like
so much drama and it's all the outfits are just like so cool because it's often set
like eights and eights a go. Yeah, it's really interesting. I like it.
We've also, a lot of us have had phone pouches introduced into our schools recently, so
I was just wondering what all of your policies were in your schools about that.
Well, so an anaestobic community school, we don't have the pouches yet where you lock
your phones in for the day, but we have pouches on the walls in our classrooms and no phone
uses allowed during class time. You have to leave your phone off on the pouch on the wall
on the suit teacher, it gives you permission to use the first gear purposes.
In St Joseph's in Tola, we come in in the morning and we lock our phones into the pouches
for the day. They'll have the open for lunchtime, but when we come back in, they have to be
locked up again until the end of the day. In the years, we don't have the phone pouches
we don't have a policy where no phones during the day. If you get caught on it, you get
to take in with Friday, but we used them during class time, so there's no point having
the pouches underneath them. In Clashtag, we don't have phone pouches, but for class time
it doesn't affect us because we use iPads. We just have a no phone policy in general.
In our Rice College, we have kind of phone away boxes that have been installed in all
of our lockers. Yeah, it's kind of in the new school policy where you kind of have to
lock your phones in there, and most people follow along with it, and all teachers are kind
of against the use of phones in the classroom now, so. Inflans, you're not meant to be on
your phone. They're ringing in pouches on Monday. Do you think that you'd be able to get
into back into fifth year properly or will it be difficult for you? I think it's going
to be really difficult, because in T-Y, it's kind of more like a project base and kind
of more like laid back, but then I imagine with fifth year it's going to be like homework,
homework, homework, and like a lot of stuff. So I don't think I'll be able to hop right
back into it. Proper school work. Yeah, I think I'll struggle too because you don't
do much homework in T-Y, but I think if I just get back into after school, the study
I'd be fine. I think it'll be difficult because we're so used to just not having anything
when you're at home, so now it's going to be homework, so hopefully they don't overload
it. I think that homework, like there's just no need for it, because like first of all,
I think that students are tested enough in the classroom to have their own free time
and just to be able to relax and focus on other aspects of life outside the classroom.
Secondly, sure a couple of years ago, Michael D. Higgins said it himself, he wanted
to ban homework, just because it's like it's good for students to have that creative
flair instead of just spending every single day coming off from school and just doing
the same work over and over again. I also don't think that homework should exist because
first of all, it's very bad for students' mental health because they're in school for
the whole day and then they get home and you think they'd have a break, but they just
have to continue doing work. And then if they don't get it done because maybe they were
sick or something, you need to have a parent confirm that or you get in trouble for it.
Yeah, I think homework should definitely be abolished because if you look at countries
like Finland, they're way ahead and like education system wise, they were like homework
has been banned there for a long time now, so I feel we should kind of take that as a hint
and look into it. Do you think that there's enough places for people under the age of
18 to like maybe down to 14 to be around? It's like it's absolutely devastating that
you panic, go and you know, experience stuff, you know, meet people, enjoy life, but you
know, there's not enough stuff for people between under 18 and between ages 14 to 17, you know
me. There's about a million sports places in Ireland and if you're not like sports,
play chess or something and you just go to playground, go to a park, go for a walk.
In terms of entertainment, there's a lot of different places that people can go like,
they can go or they can join a sports club, they can join a chess club as Dahi said, they
can just run around a track a couple of times like they can do anything to just kind of
get free, but in terms of socializing, like when you're in TY, you're not necessarily too
old or too young and you're just kind of stuck in the middle. A lot of you use sports places
as an example for like places to be social, but there's a lot of people who can't do sports
and they would kind of be left without places to be. So like I struggle to do sports because
I have dyspraxia, so I'm not able for that level of coordination and I just think that
we're actively seeing a loss of places to meet people and make new friends. Like, you know,
there used to be like roller skating rinks and places like that, but that's just not a thing you
see anymore. And so we've all kind of been forced into just being in our houses if you can't
do things like sports, which leads to a real amount of loneliness and just chronically being on
your phone and on YouTube and all those kinds of things. So I do believe that we need to bring
that sort of stuff back for people who can't do it.
And now, a tune on Tinueso from Dahee.
Our next guest is an Irish rugby player from Camel. She has recently coached a school team
where she teaches in Spanish point to an all-arlin victory and represented Claire herself through
the GAA. Faye from Inistamian Community School is interviewing Imra Considine.
Okay, so first of all, are you enjoying your retirement from international rugby?
Yeah, and there's some days that I miss rugby when I see the girls. I feel like in a couple of
weeks, they'll be lining up and tricking them. So I kind of have a bit of jealousy around that.
But then I think of all the training and the commitment and the time away from home
that I would have had to commit that I just can't really do at the moment.
So I'm really, really happy with my decision. 99 friends per time. And even though I'm not playing
rugby at the moment, I'm still playing football with Kelmahal, so I'm still getting to be
part of the team environment that I like a miss big time when I talk to the rugby girls.
Yeah, how do you think the Irish women's rugby team are going to get on the six nations without
you this year? I think they're a really good chance at least finishing second this year.
England are always going to be the hardest team to beat. And if you have to beat them, it's
kind of unrealistic at the moment. So if they can finish second place and beat the rest of the
teams, that would be a great season. They were a lot of girls back from injury, but they didn't
have in the World Cup like Darky Wall and Aaron King and Dave Waffer is a fully fit player in
at the moment. So you're adding those really stronger as back into the squad. I think they can
definitely push France. France are really strong, but they are, they're definitely beautiful in Ireland,
they're getting better and closer and closer, everything really here. So all the games probably
by our England are ones that they're going to look at to try and win. Yeah, that would be great.
Do you think women's sport is being covered well enough or if not, what improvements could be made?
I think it depends, and it really depends on the media outlets, whether it's radio or print
or social media. Some teams are getting great coverage, some teams aren't, and it all is down
to individual stations or newspapers or journalists and vast. I think it definitely has improved,
but I think women almost have to do double what men do to get any bit of credit. And as
was I look at, from a more recent point of view, from the Spanish point of view that I'm coaching
and teaching at the moment, that they got the same amount of coverage in local newspapers as
the boys, her and team, that last, the final, even though we won the final. So you have to almost
be better than men to get that attention. There'll always naturally be a lot more coverage of men.
I think that's just the nature of what we're going to have to, what needs to be done? There needs
to be, I suppose, equal importance put on covering men's and women's games. And there needs to be,
I suppose, a clash of fixtures, it will always help too. So that's the lady's association
that there isn't a clash with the major men's games. I suppose to allow me to be able to cover both
to both games. Yeah, and to tie in with that then, what opportunities have you noticed that
men have gotten sport that women might not have? And yeah, there's a lot. I'm married to a man
that played football for Claire when I was playing football for Claire. So I was very able to see
the differences between us, even from a very young age, even 10 years ago or so, that access to
pitches, gym programs, quality coaches, even things like gear, that they would get a gear bag of
gear at the start of the year, where we got here if you were in a final. Yeah. So there was
this for the difference I could see a long time ago. So even when I look at the underage structures
that the men and women have in place, there's a lot more coaches allocated to each team,
the facilities that they have, you know, the men obviously use carolone and Claire,
and I'm sure there's other countries as well that have a main train facility where it's a girl,
it's after half a jump around the county to try and find pitches, often at least
stages and later availability. So there's still, there's still definitely differences,
and even I saw it in the rugby that especially during COVID that the men's team took priorities
and that we often, even as an Irish team, got kicked off a pitch if the men even 17 were
used to train or if you'd have a competition that the women's 15's team would be
changed pitches because there was a men's team in need of a pitch. Yeah. So unfortunately,
it happens too much, even at a national level, not just at a local level. I think we're very
looking at our clubs that were very, I'm going to say the men for this quite equal with the men's
in our club at Kilmahose, but you can't really say that in a lot of places. Yeah, yeah, that's true,
I think a lot of girls would be able to relate to not getting prioritised on the pitch over the men,
so yeah, that's good to talk about. And just final question, so what changed has happened to
make football so strong in your school in recent times? Because the girls have really progressed,
like they've climbed up to the professions in the last couple of years. Yeah, I think Spanish
point has always had a history of having great footballers and over the last 30-40 years,
they've had good footballers every year. And I think initially it started from the boys winning
the All Ireland final couple of years ago and the girls kind of think, and you know, we have
great footballers here too, we are capable of doing that. And they kind of got their heads together
and started putting the work and got the porch from different coaches and just bought into the
work and trained really, really hard. Yeah, and like they trained over Christmas, over midterms,
in the mornings and evenings after a long weekend, and they're still trained twice a week
Wednesdays and Sunday evenings and they have been doing that since September, so it's that work and
that. And I set up in yesterday, they are a really talented group of individual athletes who
put them together and they have this really good buying and team spirit that you can't coach or
that I can't buy, but they just seem to really get on with each other even though they're from
different clubs. They're a great group of girls who actually like playing football together and
really like representing the school and that shows in the ways that they play football. Yeah, that's
great, so congratulations to y'all and thanks a million for talking to us here today. Thanks for
watching. Thank you. Bye.
Hi, my name's Naomi Hogan and I'm here with Thomas. How long have you been playing the piano?
I haven't played in piano for around four years now. Who teaches you the piano? My teacher's
name is Tatiana and she kind of has a home studio that I go to once a week. I learned everything
I know from her. She's made a big impact on my musical career. How long have you performed?
Last summer I played a tune in Dublin at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and sometimes I
just play in restaurants whenever they have a piano and sometimes I like to play in train stations
like Quadrat Station in Limerah.
What do JSU do just for anyone who's unfamiliar with your business? What does the business stand for?
The letters JSU and who is behind it? So at JSU Marketing we provide marketing services,
website creation and social media management and JSU stands for the three founders Jack Sean and
Alton JSU. What gave you the idea to start this business? The three of us have always been
interested in starting our own business and we've done some online courses developed in our skills
and we spotted a gap in the market so we started the marketing agency. And are you making
much of a profit? We are making money. I suppose we're making a couple of thousands anyway.
What's the biggest company you have worked with? The biggest companies we've worked with are
Dan McInerney's, Collins Judas and Claire Hire. What role does each member play in the business?
Jack is head of sales, Alton is head of website creation and I am head of social media
management. How much time do you put aside for the business and will it change next year now that
you're going to be in 50 year? I will not have as much time. At the moment we put around 15 or 20
hours into the business a week but next year we'll probably have to change with school. And finally I'd
like to ask you what are your plans for the future? I want to keep the business going. I want to try
and automate it a bit more so I can work for itself and I want to pursue a bit of business in the
future. Thank you. Our next guest is an Irish sports commentator and television presenter from
Claire and Chloe from Colosh Demora and us will be interviewing Marity Marcy. Where did you get your
stash in sports journalism? I suppose I started back at home in West Claire in the sense of
doing a match on the back of a tractor and trailer and then it was difficult to get into
broadcasting Chloe to be honest because there weren't too many opportunities for you to
keep applying to our key and like somebody else got rejected and then you try again and you try
again and then there was an ad in the Sunday Independent and my father saw it actually.
Looking for a presenter of Clark this week on cable TV in Clark so I applied for that and
lo and behold I got us and then Mary Wilson was in Clark but she was going up to Dublin to
oh no no sorry I went to London for a while sorry but I wanted to get a bit of experience
and while I was in London I got invited to apply for the newsletter of Claire Femme
where you are now we call him and lo and behold I got that job and I was in Claire Femme for about
six months, some months when Mary Wilson was leaving on a key cork moving to Dublin and
I was doing a bit of freelance work I kept applying and RT gave me a couple of matches to comment
in on source what they could say is freelancing in other words you're not staff and you only just
whatever gig you get you get it from them and you do your work for the day and that's the end of
us and so you're hoping as a freelancer to get as much work as possible and I got protein
games as a freelancer and then Mary Wilson was leaving Dublin I had to apply for her job and
very lucky enough I got it and I was in cork for four years before they popping up to Dublin
where I've been since there you go brief a brief summary in your opinion what was the best match
you ever commentated on well I'm going to be biased and as a care man I think there were two
my first year or two I was still freelance and was supposed to buy one the 1992 monster for
500 between Terry and Kerry and I would say the 2013 all right and finally when we got a
late equalizer from Conor Dunnevin to Conor back from Tanlara I was on the radio now doing this
and we drew the game in 2013 with the greatest Conor back ever Chloe scoring a point to draw the
game and we won the repress you know in a dollar and came on and scored a haptica goes the great
channel down so I think I'd probably put those two and I know I'm being biased but I think people
will forgive me because we're both people yeah what advice would you give someone wanting to start
in sports journalism I think probably never give up because you know you can't be too sensitive
because you will get knocks there will be people that will like you and there will be people
micens so you've got to be not too sensitive and just take the knocks and then I've heard
Chloe because you're getting knocked down and you get rejected and that's never rejects and never
easy but the only thing is everybody else who's gone through the same thing so you might feel
bad for a day but the following day you get open you say you know what I really want to do this
so I'll apply again and you might get rejected the second time and you might get rejected
the third time but persistence pays off I would say in broadcasting and you've got to learn your
trade as well like what you're doing with me now you know you've got to learn how to use the microphone
ask the questions and have the chat and relax and go between hours and we're all nervous who
are starting off so you know it was trial and error but eventually you just you get there and
somebody will have faith in you and I say you know we need to give Chloe a chance we need to
give Marty a chance and you grab that opportunity with both hands and try and build it so
probably my advice is never give up okay what sport do you prefer commentating on well I'd
be honest I mean I've done quite a few but I would be a GM and so although I'm from West
territory where are you from to a brand oh so Jim Jimmy Smith and Sir Lion from
Ryan has produced some of the greatest hurlers in their country so well I'm from West
there as you know so why so that'd be mainly football but my favorite sport has to be hurling
it is the greatest game of the whole lot but I'd enjoy all the sports but for me hurling would
be number one how do you stay unbiased when commentating on Claire matches
difficult question Chloe and a very good one I would say that you learn tricks that while your
county is playing you can't be from Claire for that 70 minutes and the last two all are in
finance the care one they were playing Clark and Chloe I was born in Clark I had a Clark mother
so the house was divided when my parents were alive from them so but you just got a step back
you can't wear a car jersey that day because when you're commentating on TV or radio
you're speaking to the people of Ireland to the nation and you can't be from anywhere and all
you can do then is be as honest as you can and don't be in any way biased if there's a free for
Claire it's you might you might say it's not a free you shouldn't be a free and sometimes people say
what's he talking about but you've got to you've got to take those because you've got to be fair
to both counties and to both teams so it you just learn and Chloe you can't allow your emotions
take you over and you just do as good a job as your kind of be as honest as you can I just
again nobody can criticize you when you're as honest as you can be lastly do you prefer being on
TV for sport or for entertainment like when you're on dancing with the stars
God you've got great questions Chloe thank you well I suppose my my job is with sports
departments I have to say that's what I primarily love I do love going to a match whether
being Cusic Park and NS or Krog Park you know it is always fulfilled me with great pride
and it like I'd love when I do my own county obviously but sometimes lead from playing
Galway are done to Galway our ma you know can we really entertaining really exciting and just
you can enjoy the skills and if tip area playing Cukinny you can enjoy that as much as any other
game but I do enjoy it but I do love entertainment and I love variety and I was on dancing with
stars last Sunday night now again because they were celebrating 100 years and I really enjoyed
being back in so yeah I would love to do a variety show sometime with you know with with all the
contacts I have now so it's a bit of both but probably sport would still be number one but entertainment
would be number two that's all thank you so much well done Chloe lovely talking to you
we hope you've enjoyed take talking to eyes a show we have created ourselves from start to
finish thank you all for listening
