Saipan stars Steve Coogan and Éanna Hardwicke, leader of the Social Democrats Holly Cairns, and new Liveline presenter Kieran Cuddihy are among the guests on this week's Late Late Show.
Actors Coogan and Hardwicke will talk about their starring roles in the highly-antipated film Saipan about the infamous 2002 World Cup bust-up between Ireland manager Mick McCarthy and star player Roy Keane.
The pair will share how they prepared to step into the shoes of two of the most talked-about figures in Irish sporting history.
Patrick Kielty will sit down with Kieran Cuddihy ahead of his debut as the new host of RTÉ Radio 1's Liveline next Monday, as the show prepares to celebrate 40 years on air.

Holly Cairns, leader of the Social Democrats, will discuss the current political landscape, the challenges facing the left opposition and her vision for Ireland’s future. She’ll also share her take on the week in politics, including the fallout from the presidential election.
Singer-songwriter Nell Mescal will take to the Late Late Show stage with a live performance of her brand-new single. She will also chat about her upcoming headline tour, her rise in the music world and the encouragement she receives from her brother, actor Paul Mescal.
Comedian Jarlath Regan will be in studio to talk about how he is an expert in spotting a gobs***e and how Irishisms continue to inspire his comedy.
One lucky child will have their dream come true live on air, as they discover they’ll be performing in this year’s Late Late Toy Show, and there'll be even more big news in store for Toy Show fans.
