FINE GAEL SENATOR JOE O’Reilly won a car on last week’s Late Late Show, which he has described as “a lovely surprise”.
O’Reilly, who is from Co Cavan, won the Seat compact SUV worth over 30k by answering a trivia question.
The question was: “The iconic DeLorean car featured in which hit movie franchise, alongside the characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown?”

And the answer, of course, was the 1985 classic Back to the Future.

“I am very happy to have won,” he said.
“It’s a lovely surprise. If I’m home for the Late Late, I do the competition. It’s purely fun and it’s just one entry.”
