Ryan Tubridy has called on the Taoiseach to ‘man up’ this week in a bid to try and save the Childline services.The Late Late Show host has asked Enda Kenny to “have the decency” to find the money to save the children’s helpline and said that it was “mildly sickening” that Childline’s night service may face closure.

“Hopefully, this isn’t a dark stain on this Government’s copybook and that they sort this out at this time of year. It can’t be that much of a problem for them financially and the least he could do is have the decency to confront the issue and fix it,” he added.
