TV: Will a Déise fella be Cork woman's cup of tea?

Michelle, from Cork, on First Dates Ireland

What is the best tea - Lyons or Barry’s? That’s the big debate on First Dates Ireland when a Cork woman meets a Waterford guy. Will the row put Michelle, 24, off Harry, 24?

Joining them on a double date is Harry's sister Ava (21). Trinity student John (20) from Meath is utterly smitten with Ava, despite the fact that he’s not expecting to be ‘grilled’ by her older brother or have his date suggest that he’s a bit of a ‘yup bro’.

Joseph (39) from Dublin arrives armed with his own acronym – SPARK, which is to say he’s looking for someone Smart, Positive, Aligned, Reliable and Kind. 

Failing that, he admits that he’ll settle for someone ‘hot’. 

Joesph meets returning dater James (41) from Roscommon, who didn’t feel the ‘spark’ last time round and reports that, since then, he’s been on ‘more first dates than Mateo’.
