The Exchequer was the venue for the launch party of the second series of The Holiday Show in association with FBD, which airs on TV3. The show’s presenters Ciara Whelan and Jon Slattery were on hand to greet invited guests, who got a sneak preview of the first show, ‘Sun, Sea and Something Else’, which takes in the European hotspots of Cyprus, Croatia and the Costa De Sol.

Speaking at the event TV3’s Director of Programming, Ben Frow said: “The Holiday Show was such a success for us last year that I'm delighted it’s back for a second, longer run. We could all do with a bit of sunshine during these dark winter days and this is the show to give it.”

‘How Low Can You Go’ presenter Michael Hayes and his girlfriend Ailbhe enjoyed the event, as they chatted to PR gurus Sinead Ryan and Joanne Byrne from Presence Communications. TV3’s Director of Programming Ben Frow was also in attendance, as was Audrey Cunningham the Managing Director of Market Match and Bronagh Twomey of the FBD Group.

Other guests included stylist Sonja Mohlich, producer of The Holiday Show Tom Richardson and assistant editor and Ana Maqueda Lopez.
