Dáithí recalls days as a circus ringmaster

RTÉ broadcaster Dáithí Ó Sé has revealed how he spent a fun-filled four years as a circus ringmaster before he became a weather forecaster with TG4.

Dáithí, who is once again hosting this year’s Rose of Tralee, revealed how he spent four years as a ringmaster in Duffy’s Circus, a period of his life he looks back on very fondly.

“How it happened was that I got a call from an Irish language group who wanted to bring the Irish language into the circus, and I didn’t hesitate to accept. It was all quite amazing and great fun. I did it for about four years and we actually travelled all outside the Gaeltacht area.
