IF YOU’VE GOT an hour or two to waste at any stage over the bank holiday weekend, RTÉ Archives have a fairly entertaining exhibition of Irish celebs before they were famous.
It features 9-year-old Saoirse Ronan playing Rhiannon Geraghty in The Clinic…
23-year-old Joe Duffy chatting about religion…
19-year-old Marian Finucane at a student protest in Dublin…
Graham Norton defending discos at the age of 17…
And a video of Jason Byrne winding up Bill Murray on the Late Late Show back in 1996.
There are plenty of other Irish celebs in the RTÉ Archives, including Ryan Tubridy (who had some strong opinions on U2 fans when he was teen).
We even get to see what Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh looked like back in 1982.
Although there are plenty of RTÉ personalities in the exhibition, there are plenty of other Irish celebs and sports people, including Panti Bliss, Laura Whitmore, Louis Walsh, Cillian Murphy and Mary McAleese. You can check out the entire thing here.
