The First Dates Ireland restaurant is the most sought after love hub in the country right now, so what better place for some of our favourite 'couples' to go and connect?

Maitre D' Mateo Saina welcomes Leo Varadkar and Paschal Donohoe in for some alone time, but the ministerial mates don't really get the chance to rekindle whatever it is they have, all thanks to an oversees call. 

Ryanair tycoon Michael O'Leary has also booked a table with a member of the NTA, and after a bit of banter, the sparks are flying - even if Michael has a tight budget for the dinner.

The couple who make the most impact are Martin O'Neill and Tony Donoghue, who after a turbulent history have said they'd give it on last shot...but they hit the corner flag!
