Daithi Shows His Bird The Field... We are all too well aware that it's a big Irish rural tradition for all you country lads to show your intended your tracts of land when courting. It was in The Quiet Man or something. So it was no wonder that redneck to stars Daithi O'Se brought his USA Rose to see The Field last night... There's another law stronger than the common law. The law of the land... Daithi O'Se, Rita Talty He is the undisputed king of the culchies god bless him with that big mad country head on him, yet RTE's Daithi O'Se has embraced the SchhowBiz lifestyle and even the Big Schhmoke. He came up for the Christmas shopping and never left... Like so many others... Outsiders? Are these the same outsiders who took the corn from our mouths when the potatoes went rotten in the ditches? The very same. Daithi O'Se, Claire Byrne Clad in cowboy boots and denims our Daithi showed off his US Rose of Tralee girlfriend Rita Talty at the opening night of The Field last night in The Olympia Theatre. Even his Daily Show co-host Claire Byrne was there to cast her eye over O'Se's new lady begorrah... Like, what is it with Roses of Tralee and male RTE presenters folks? We are starting to think the long-running beauty pageant is nothing more than a secret dating agency for unattached TV presenters in Donnybrook. Joan Bergin, Brenda Fricker Apart from Daithi and the new lady, most of Dublin's finest were out last night to see Brian Dennehy step into the Bull McCabe's big boots... The Olympia Theatre was graced with no less than TWO Irish Oscar winners with Joan Bergin and Brenda Fricker present. Impressive or wha? David Norris, Brenda Fricker Other guests on the night included the next President of Ireland David Norris, John McColgan & Moya Doherty with their hipster son Danny McColgan, Brush Shiels, Paul Brady, Anne Cassin and her father Barry Cassin, Gay Byrne and Kathleen Watkins, Tara Sinnott & her mother Ann Williams, Amanda Brunker, and Michael Colgan with son Richard Colgan... John McColgan & Moya Doherty, son Danny McColgan And the list goes on: Siobhan Stevens, Paul Byrne, Shay Healy, Billy Keane, Donal Shiels, Colm Tobin, Roisin Agnew, Karen Koster & John Maguire, Peter Sheridan & wife Shiela Sheridan, Denis Keane, Darina Allen, Eamon Keane, Joe Duffy, Ingrid Craige, Dearbhla Molloy, Dearmot Crowley, Lucy Farrell, Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh, Sinead Ni Churnain, Grainne Ryan, Michael Sharpe, and many more... Michael Colgan, son Richard Colgan So there you have it folks, The Field is at The Olympia now and by the looks of the opening night, tickets will be hard to come by... We reckon with the demise of The Meteor Awards, VIPs are taking every red carpet opportunity that comes along... The English are gone, Bull... Gone! Because I drove em out. Me and my kind. Gone, but not forgotten Flanagan. No outsider will bid for my field.

It would appear she loves stirring up trouble and to be quite honest she would not be on the panel except somebody else could not make it. Mores the pity as she doesnt seem to know what is talent and tried to wriggle the way out of it last week with a load of waffle. Majella – Dublin February 05, 2011 - 13:40 Daithi are you up for round two on Sunday night with A.Brunker. Sweetin her up with c0ckles and mussels and a bit of our own Dublin coddle thrown in for good measure.That would'nt be a bad meal for a developing country.!!!!! Your a breath of fresh air on T.V and doing so well with all your shows. Its takes the Kerryman to show them how its done. Fair play to you, its no wonder you have charmed a 'Rose' from New Jersey and good luck galore to you both as your like a Prince and Princess together. declan – dungarven February 03, 2011 - 22:28 Very well done Daithi to you on Sunday night. You put Amanda Brunker back in her box. When did Ireland become a developing country or what planet is she on. It took a Kerryman to let her know that Ireland is renowned all over the world for its great Irish music. You deserve to have three groups in the final. You know what it takes. Your Daily show is most enjoyable and refreshing. Good luck to you also in your personal life, you and your 'Rose' look so happy in each others company. You are a good judge, and a cute Kerryman. Lets hope you make it to the alter.!!!!!!! goattstown girl – goatstown February 02, 2011 - 22:06 Daithi - your a man of many talents. You showed Amanda Brunker how its done in the West. I feel so sorry for her not to recognise beautiful traditional Irish music. Where was she reared -one would certaintly think it must be in a third world country or in a developing country as she put it herself. Is she trying to deny being Irish. Delighted for you Daithi and very well done having two groups in the final. Not bad for a Kerryman.It takes a country lad to show the Dubs how its done.!!!!!!! Good luck too in your romance, what a happy looking couple you and your American girlfriend look. Very best of luck to you both and for the future together. Globetrotter – Northside February 01, 2011 - 22:52 Would somebody please tell Amanda Brunker to dress according to her age Mamie – Drumcondra January 27, 2011 - 21:21 Daithi now has his very own "Lady in Red" what a beautiful looking girl. Well done for the Kerryman. Take note all you eligible bachelors you will have to go Stateside!!! Lots of love luck and happiness to the happy couple. southern lass – Glasnevin January 26, 2011 - 21:33 What a handsome pair Diathi and his beautiful Rose. She is very striking and they compliment each other. Best of luck and love to them both. d4 cailin – donegal January 25, 2011 - 17:06 Daithi has such a cute face- no wonder he has broken so many hearts along he way. What a lovely presenter on the Daily Show and RTE is extremely lucky to have him. Their ratings must be so high. He is a breath of fresh air to RTE and his show is very lighthearted. He compliments Clare. His girlfriend is a very lucky girl and hopefully there will be wedding bells at some stage. Good luck and success to them both for the future. the queens niece – windsor January 22, 2011 - 20:17 DAITHAND RITA ARE SUCH A HAPPY LOOKING COUPLE AND SO IN LOVE AND THE VERY BEST OF LUCK TO THEM BOTH. ITS SO NICE TO SEE THEM BOTH SO HAPPY IN EACH OTHERS COMPANY AND MAY IT ALWAYS REMAIN LIKE THIS. Thunder – Thais January 19, 2011 - 20:01 I really take offence at Frank's subtle attack on Amanda Brunker. Her literary talent, as exemplified by two best-selling and intellectually weighty books, shows that her interest in the arts is above reproach. Tailor – Taylor January 19, 2011 - 08:36 Does anyone know if Anne Cassin's single? I'd like to invite her out for a salad sandwich. Robyn January 18, 2011 - 19:10 Barry Cassin is a very striking gentleman. Reckon he was in high demand with the ladies in his heyday. Stood out most for me in these photos frank – dublin January 18, 2011 - 16:30 Did Amanda Brunker actually understand the plot of The Field? (no pun intended). The Bull – The Field over the fence January 18, 2011 - 15:55 Shay Healy... he could be mistaken for the late Richard Harris, which as it was the opening of The Field, is just a bit weird!! JR – Dallas January 18, 2011 - 14:43 she must be from Texas , a texan lady loves a man in boots Rickster January 18, 2011 - 14:02 I can't believe Brush Shiels is still wearing that beret after all these years. Daiti, I knew he couldn't keep his hands of the Roses. DA – Donegal January 18, 2011 - 12:23 What age is Daithi's girl? She looks about 17 beside him! Daddy and daughter vibe :) The Barber – of Seville January 18, 2011 - 08:29 Danny McColgan badly needs a mirror and a razor.
