First Dates Ireland: Miracles, and hitting the jackpot in the love stakes

This episode of First Dates Ireland is a stark reminder why all of us have spent so much of our adult lives taking a gamble on love when the odds are so often stacked against us, because like all numbers games, one day you might just win

First Dates: Amanda and Long

First up on the latest episode of First Dates Ireland, Alan and Thomas are starting out strong, with a google of the population of Thurles suggesting a potential staycation in Thomas’ native Tipperary potentially being on the cards at some point in the future.

 Joe Dolan fan Thomas and recently-single Alan bond over a mutual love of family, and demonstrate an easy rapport from the get-go. When both answer with a definitive ‘yes’ when asked if they’d like to see each other again, we can’t help but fist-pump the air in the face of what has to be a First Dates miracle - a love match.
