A former President of Ireland and Peter Casey lead this Friday's Late Late Show line-up

We’ll also take a look at why things are looking prickly for Ireland's hedgehogs, and there’ll be music from The Blizzards and Phil Coulter.

A week after Michael D Higgins was elected to serve another term as the President of Ireland, the Late Late has decided to shadow the theme and invite Former President, Mary Robinson and 2018 candidate, Peter Casey to chat with Ryan Tubridy this Friday night.

After propping up the bottom of the polls during the month-long Presidential election campaign, Casey went on to come second to Michael D. Higgins, receiving over 340,000 votes.
