RTE Late Late Show viewers were all left praising Fiona Shaw after tonight's interview. The BAFTA-winning actress joined host Patrick Kielty to discuss her renowned career in film and TV which spans over five decades. The Cork star spoke about her iconic roles in hit TV shows such as Bad Sisters and Killing Eve, as well as her much-beloved film character in the Harry Potter franchise and My Left Foot. She came to the RTE studio straight from the Dublin premiere of her latest film Park Avenue at the Dublin International Film Festival. Fiona grew up in Cobh, Cork, with her mum Mary, dad Denis and three brothers, John, Mark and Peter. And Fiona revealed tonight that despite her busy schedule, she often heads back down to the rebel county to see her elderly mum. She explained: "I'm there a lot because my mother is very old now. She's 99 next month. "We seem to go back and forth a lot and that's been very, very nice. I mean, you kind of feel you're getting off a horse, and you're thinking, 'God, this place has changed'. "I was away, I was often in the theatre and therefore away or on tour so often. I mean, I was always back for Christmas, but I'm getting to know Cork and West Cork and if ever I can escape up west. "And I'm kind of discovering the country like a tourist and like a Yank." RTE viewers were all blown away by Fiona and raced to social media with compliments. Ciara tweeted: "Didn't realise Fiona Shaw was from Cork!!! What a woman." Grace said: "Fiona Shaw is our current favourite Irish actor. She’s actually phenomenal." Amanda commented: "Fiona Shaw the most underrated actor." Karen remarked: "I want her to be my best friend." Doieann Garrihy also sat down with Patrick and opened up about being bullied as a teen. The 2FM host had noted that being held responsible is the nature of her profession, but some people also go over-the-top in calling her out. And a specific experience in her youth has afforded her a thick skin meaning much of the negativity sent her way doesn't affect her. She said: "I was in secondary school around the time Bebo was a big thing. And listen, it comes with being a teenager as well. "You're sometimes in the firing line. Sometimes you're not. I happened to be for about two years, and my parents actually were amazing at that time. "They've always been very good at actually saying to us what's going on, and sitting down every day and saying, 'Is there anything you want to say to us', or, 'Anything you want to tell us?', and just be really open with us? "I had a tough time in fourth and fifth year, and I'm really glad actually, that my it wasn't in my pocket. Mobile phones weren't a big thing then, because I think that's a massive challenge for parents and for teenagers these days and trying to navigate that. "I'm sure it's really difficult, but I think being open with young people and just saying, 'You can tell me if there's something going on', 'We can figure it out'. "My parents, they didn't intervene. They just kind of went, 'Okay, at least we know you need to try and figure this out, because if we intervene, it'll undermine you, and you were able to sort it out'."
