In more recent years, the NGO sector has become much more involved in “the care and rehabilitation” of people with mental health issues and housing. Cork City Council has proven that once funded, it can deliver for a city that has always had that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’. It made riveting viewing as she spoke to The Late Late Show presenter Patrick Kielty of her experience of severe depression and of the help she received in St John of God University Hospital in Stillorgan, Dublin. Hopefully, after her appeal on The Late Late Show they will retain it. This too shows the strength of The Late Late Show when it highlights issues in the public interest.
