Poet pulls out of talk show for legal reasons

IRISH language poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh last night pulled out of an interview on the Late Late Show claiming he was not allowed to go on the show live.

The interview would have been his first on television since the airing of the documentary Fairytale of Kathmandu, which explored the poet’s relationship with Nepalese teenage boys.

Ó Searcaigh, 52, wished to set the record straight on some issues surrounding the documentary, his links to Nepal and his homosexuality, during the interview.
