Despite the cheque logo, the competition was not associated with Lidl.
Jack Wall O’Reilly – dubbed “Earbuds Paul” – was the clear favourite of the six contestants. His recital of a line of dialogue from Normal People won enthusiastic applause from the crowd, the warmth of whose response determined the winner. He was presented with a giant cheque made out for €20 “or three pints” – although it was unclear how the latter would be cashed. Although the cheque was branded with the Lidl logo, the competition has no official association with the supermarket.He also credited the resurgent interest in such events to the geopolitical climate, saying: “I think it’s good to have events like these as people are having a rough time.
The competition was held in Smithfield Square, near the Light House cinema, where the premiere of Mescal’s first blockbuster,, was scheduled to take place later that evening. The actor himself did not put in an appearance at the afternoon’s event.
