The most watched show in the last 17 years was the Late Late Toy Show with 1.5 million viewers so you can see how this matches up. I know this forum is full of knuckle draggers but there are only 4.5 million people in Ireland so do the math. RTE's boxing post and pre fight boxing coverage also attracted large audiences.
