On a very interesting edition of The Late Late Show, one guest stood out more than anyone else.
So much so, that just their name alone was trending on Twitter the minute after the programme played the outro music.
Glen Hansard was on the show to talk about music and his life but was plauded, and slated, for talking about this very important subject in Ireland.
Hansard - best known for his role in The Commitments, as lead singer of The Frame and for the musical 'Once'. began talking about the housing crisis and you could see his blood begin to boil.
He described ministers talking about the homelessness crisis as laughable, stating that they were acting:
"I’ll give Simon Coveney my Oscar! These guys are such good actor", he said.
Speaking about Ministers ‘addressing’ homelessness, Glen Hansard says: “I’ll give Simon Coveney my Oscar! These guys are such good actors”. And he’s not wrong. #LateLate #Legend

"The free market knows nothing about meitheal." Fair bowls to @Glen_Hansard telling it like it is on the #LateLateShow

“The housing Minister sat there and, I mean, these guys are amazing, I’ve got an Oscar at home, I’ll give it to Simon Coveney, that acting is amazing. The way they can lie and spin.” #ApolloHouse #HomeSweetHome #SimonCoveney #LateLateShow #latelate pic.twitter.com/caR3O1nWBc

“Government are ideologically opposed to solving housing crisis. Theyre relying on private sector which doesnt care about people, it only cares about profits..
They’ve given €7bn to landlords in 5 years. How many houses would that have built?" pic.twitter.com/IWI8gkOpOb
