Social media reacts as Dr Tony Holohan appears on RTE's The Late Late Show

People across Ireland posted their support of Ireland's leading doctor Tony Holohan as he appeared on The Late Late Show tonight.

The Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health was inundated with good wishes during his appearance on RTE on Friday.

He is a key part of Ireland's response to the coronavirus pandemic and appears regularly at the daily Covid-19 briefings, where the nation is updated on deaths and new cases.

People were delighted to see him in another setting, however, with some describing him as "a living legend" and a "national treasure".

Here are just some of the tweets about the good doctor tonight.

Meanwhile, at the start of tonight's show, host Ryan Tubridy went off on a monologue about the ongoing crisis and appealed for people to stay at home and "double down" on what we've been doing.
