A swarm of One Direction fans gathered outside the RTÉ studios this afternoon and chased a blacked-out mini-van across the campus in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the teenage heartthrobs - and they were not disappointed!
As the boys posed outside the RTÉ radio building, they were quickly ushered inside for an exclusive interview with 2FM's Rick O' Shea, followed by a live performance of their new single. They then took their time chatting to fans and signing autographs.
RTÉ TEN quizzed the fans about their favourite group with 16-year-old Aoife claiming that she is One Direction’s biggest fan and is hoping to ask Liam Payne for his hand in marriage today. As she clasped her giant-sized Marry Me poster in one hand, she told RTÉ TEN: "Liam Payne is so talented and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have watched the X Factor. One Direction should have won the show - no one will ever compare to them. I am going to ask Liam to marry me."
When asked about their new single What Makes You Beautiful the excited teenager continued to say: "I already know all of the lyrics, and have the song on repeat in on my Ipod."
Fans spared no cost running or hopping after One Direction!

However, it seems that it isn’t just the ladies’ that adore music mogul Simon Cowell’s latest protégées as crowds of teenage boys also gathered in the hopes of catching a glimpse of last year’s X Factor finalists 15-year-old Darragh took a moment to say: "I hope to be in a band like One Direction one day. I have taken dance lessons and practice every day."
He added: "I love Niall Horan because he is Irish. He has made it cool to be in a boyband again."
It was an emtional experience for some fans!
