Since Pat Kenny stepped aside from hosting of RTE TV's long-running chat show, 'The Late Late Show', he has surfaced again presenting a live, political debate show called 'the Frontline' (now airing on RTE1 television between 10.40pm and 11.40pm (GMT), Monday evenings;  http://www.rte.ie/news/thefrontline/

the format of the show includes concerned audience members' reaction to and questioning of the topical and political acts and pronouncements of Pat's influential guests; the latest show has Colm McCarthy answering his critics about the public sector cuts he has suggested;

co-incidently, a new multi-professional pressure group of public service workers called Frontline, was recently launched to battle the govt's plans to cut wages, conditions and services in the public sector as recommended by Colm McCarthy's ("An Bord Snip") Report;
