Dara Ó Briain is no stranger to a Cork stage and it was a welcome return to “the tarmacadam” for the Bray comic at Live at the Marquee on Thursday night. His ‘So… Where Were We’ tour enjoyed a hilarious night beside the Lee and he had the audience howling with laughter.

Thousands of fans made their way down to the showgrounds site and, given the day’s combination of blue skies and high temperatures, I arrived to find a chilled-out crowd chatting in the sunshine.
