Claire Byrne was all smiles as she stepped out on the red carpet with husband Gerry Scollan last night.
The RTE presenter attended the Irish premiere of Cillian Murphy's new movie Small Things Like These at the Lighthouse Cinema.
The movie, based on the best-selling novel by Claire Keegan, tells the story of coal merchant Bill Furlong, who discovers disturbing secrets kept the local convent, forcing him to confront the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church.

Oscar winner Cillian attended the screening, alongside co-star Eileen Walsh, and a host of other well-known figures in the entertainment industry.
Other familiar faces spotted on the night included radio Claire Byrne and her husband Gerry.
The broadcaster looked glamorous wearing a gold midi dress with a black tie belt. She layered up with a chic black biker jacket, and some tights and boots to match.
Claire leads a busy work life as host of Today with Claire Byrne, which airs weekdays on RTE Radio 1, but away from her busy career she says she is "just Mammy".
She and Gerry share three children, Patrick, Jane and Emma and the family of five are "a very happy household".
"My children are a bit more curious about what I do now... sometimes they ask me if I am famous and I just say 'No! No one is famous, it is a small country'," Claire told the RTE Guide last year.
"Outside of work I feel like I am just a Mammy. But you are never just a Mammy, are you?
"But a lot of my focus is around what the children are doing and making sure we have enough food in the house. They are eating all the time. It is constant."
Claire decided to quit her TV show, Claire Byrne Live, back in 2022 so she could be at home with her family more.
She said: "I am gone every morning. I leave the house at 6.50am so I am not there for their going to school bit everyday and I think that is enough really to be able to teach them about the value of work.
"They know that I work hard. I just think it was a step too far for me not to be there every single Monday night too."
