Ernie Butler (1949-2007)
Ernie Butler hosted the Irish Show from its birth in 2005 until July 2007. Ernie was involved in entertainment and hospitality in Montreal for more than 30 years. His reputation as an entrepreneur, a bon vivant and someone who could make bank managers break into a cold sweat followed him into the comedy business where he became known far and wide as a promoter of top-flight talent.
Ernie passed away on August 29th, 2007 after a brief illness. His spirit lives-on on The Irish Show.
Our Mission is to expand our view of ourselves as Irish and as Canadian.
The Irish Show is designed to present an appropriate balance of entertainment, culture, sports and news from Canada and abroad.
Our team of volunteers: Martina Branagan, Karen Bright, Tom Gargan, Xania Keane, Andriú MacGabhann, Audrey O'Breham.
