Dating show date for Athboy's Shane

Athboy man Shane Condon will feature in this week’s edition of 'Pioc Do Ride’, a dating show series on TG4 which asks 'Do Irish men care more about their cars than relationships?'

The lighthearted and first of its kind series aims to find love for some of Ireland’s loneliest drivers with often hilarious and farcical results. Expect boy racers, theory tests, L-plates and hill starts and, of course, a few bumps and scrapes along their way.

Each episode of Pioc do Ride sees one singleton get the chance to pick from three potential partners for the date of a lifetime. However, the lucky bachelor or bachelorette will not get to meet the three suitors before making a decision and will only be introduced to their cars.

By kicking the tyres and rummaging through the boot the contestant will try to glean insights into the owner's personality to decide which of them might be the perfect date.

On Thursday 10th December, Shane Condon goes in search of love at Rally School Ireland in Co Monaghan. Shane gets to choose between car fanatic Heather from Coolea, Co Cork; nutritionist Niamh from north Dublin and student Maria from Cork city.
