If you’re anything like us, you have been glued to Gogglebox since it arrived on our screens back in 2013.
We've been counting down the days to the Irish version and TV3 have now given us a sneak preview of some of the families that will be featured in the show.
First up, we’ve got the Gruffertys – Des, Laura and their daughter Danielle.
The Gruffertys will be giving their views and opinions on everything from Coronation Street to Enda Kenny from their house in Athy, Co. Kildare. Des and Laura met 14 years ago when Des walked into Laura’s salon for a hair cut, and the rest is history. The couple have four children, but only Danielle will be joining them on the couch.
Also, watch out for their two adorable Jack Russell dogs.
Next up, we’ve got Aga and Szymon. They hail from Poland, now living in Tallaght, and they’ve been best friends since they met in college over 16 years ago. Aga moved to Ireland in 2004 and Szymon paid a visit in 2007, fell in love with the country and never left.
Last, but absolutely not least, we’ve got an unusual family... in that, they’re not a family at all, but a group of friends from Cabra.
Jamie, Lindsay, Ashley and Grainne are self confessed reality TV addicts and their ideal Friday night is staying in with some TV and white wine. Lindsay and Ashley are sisters, but the foursome have been inseparable for years.
Gogglebox Ireland’s very first episode airs on TV3 this Thursday at 9.30pm – and we can’t wait.

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

The once-reliable rail line is now making people late, miserable, and poor. For months now, regular passengers have faced delays, confusion, crowding, and rising fares. At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months […]

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]
A survival guide for the tragically trendy now being bullied by signage. So. It’s sunny. You’ve got your tiny sunglasses on, your €17 graphic tee is cropped just enough to show the tattoo you got in a moment of heartbreak, and your Sambas have barely touched grass. You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise. They’re either spiritually awakened, deeply anxious, on a wellness bender, or just trying to feel something before the workday starts. […]
