Cork hurler Donal Óg Cusack takes stock of gay rights on Coming Out of The Curve, RTÉ One; Sharon Horgan stars in new comedy Catastrophe on Channel 4; and Claire Byrne goes Live on RTÉ - here are our TV picks for today.
Coming Out of The Curve, RTÉ One, 9.35pm
Donal Óg Cusack, three-times All-Ireland winning Cork hurler and one of Ireland's first high-profile sports personalities to come out, asks how much life in Ireland and internationally has changed for gay people in the two decades since the de-criminalisation of homosexuality. Donal takes stock of gay rights, both at home and abroad, and asks how far we have travelled from the days when being gay was effectively against the law in Ireland. He talks to sports people about coming out, and interviews an 'ex-gay' man who claims he has been `cured' of his homosexuality.
Catastrophe, Channel 4, 10.00pm
Rob Delaney (comedian and bestselling author) and Sharon Horgan of Pulling fame and comedian and author Rob Delaney star in and co-wrote this new comedy series for Channel 4. They play an American man and Irish woman who embark on a week-long affair in London which ends when he returns to the US. But then he's forced to return to Britain when he learns that she's pregnant.
Catastrophe
Claire Byrne Live, RTÉ One. 10.35pm
Presenter Claire Byrne will be joined by guests and a live studio audience for discussion, analysis and whatever has the country talking in this new hour-long current affairs show. Tonight, the show opens with a bit of a scoop - actor Colin Farrell is interviewed as the issue of same-sex marriage is debated and the actor discusses his own family experience and views.
Farrell's brother Eamon married his partner Steven Mannion in Canada and the actor says of the couple: "To see them every day live their lives as a happily married couple is an amazing thing, and to think that they had to leave their own country to do that is sad and disappointing and just grossly unfair, I feel."
Responding to people's concerns about same-sex couples becoming parents, Farrell says: "It's too easy for heterosexuals to be parents, if you want the truth. It's too easy. There are too many of us who find it too easy to have a kid...
"Too many parents around the world don't parent their kids, because it was a five-minute thing... and there it is."
He continues: "We're talking about Irish society, being the best version in any referendum, divorce, same-sex marriage, being the best version of ourselves that we can be."
On the upcoming referendum, Farrell says: "I carry Ireland with me everywhere I go, and I love my country deeply . . . This is my 'coming out of the closet', as it were, publicly and saying that I support this vote with every fibre of my being."
