Last night’s Late Late Show welcomed the heroic young nurse who saved the life of a Dublin Bus driver who suffered a heart attack while on duty last week.
The dramatic incident occurred in Dublin’s City Centre, and nurse Aoife McGivney’s quick thinking and CPR meant the driver made a full recovery and is doing well.
Host Ryan Tubridy spoke to Aoife about the incident, and how she managed to act quickly and save a life!

After her appearance on the show, viewers took to social media to heap praise on the brave young woman, and on nurses in general.
Wouldn't it be great if @dublinbusnews gave that amazing Nurse unlimited free trips on all routes in return for saving their Drivers life @RTELateLateShow #LateLateShow

Two observations on tonight’s #LateLateShow 1. Aoife McGivney is a bit of a legend & a reminder of how great our nurses are…
2. I’m not a close friend of his, but Mick McCarthy is one of the most decent men I’ve come across in Irish sport #JustSaying— Des Cahill (@sportsdes) March 8, 2019
This girl is a prime example of why nurses should get a pay rise! Saved a man's life, saved a bus full of people – all on the way to work! #LateLate #LateLateShow
