Tonight was the biggest night of the year for Irish actors, directors and filmmakers of all kinds — the Irish Film & Television Academy Awards.
Huge stars like Colm Meaney, Fionnuala Flanagan and Ruth Negga were out in style for a celebration of Irish contributions to film both domestically and abroad.
It was a night of big victories for A Date for Mad Mary on the film side of things and An Klondike on the television side of things.
It was also a big night for Mattress Mick. The documentary, Mattress Men, centred around his story won the Best Documentary accolade.
You can hear Mattress Mick tell his astonishing story in his own words on JOE'S Capital B podcast here.
