>> THE ACTS: Do we have a running order? Apparently Breifne Earley will be

>> REHEARSALS: How have rehearsals been going? Have they been going? Our

>>it's in the equipment room.

>> MPS: I know that the impromptu taping session for today (Fri) had to be

>> SCREEN: We need to hire a screen and a projector for Wednesday night so

>> TECH: I am aware of the assorted hiccups that we had in setting up the

>>
>> PRESENTERS: Has Roisin Cooper committed to presenting the show? Have we
>>got
>>a co-presenter? If not, I volunteer my services (I did it last year
>>Anyhoo?). Our presenters need to meet with all of the contestants BEFORE
>>the
>>show, to drill them for info and stuff so that the interviews during the

>> JUDGES: I believe Sarah Farrell is on board. That leaves two spots. Have

>>Riona JudgeMcCormack, all-round Drama legend and alumni.

>> SPEAKING OF MICHAEL MORIARTY: I spoke to him at the launch of

>>for verification purposes.
>>
>> PRIZES: What have we got? Has anything been organised at all? We need a
