George Bush. I would pull the troops out of Iraq, cancel third-world debt, and take a look at environmental issues.

No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to. . .

Hurt anyone intentionally.

The first person I call when something goes wrong is. . .

My husband Brian.

I am at my happiest. . .

When walking on the hills of Rathlin Island with Brian and our dog Blackie.

My biggest indulgence is. . .

Going on holiday. I love going away, and try to get away from Dublin as much as I can.

The TV show I never tire of is. . .

EastEnders . . . I've been watching it since it began in 1985.

The one CD I return to time and time again is. . .

James Taylor's Mud Slim Slide, which is the first CD I ever owned.

My holiday heaven is. . .

The Maldives . . . beautiful.

The one invention I can never live without is. . .

My mobile phone.

If I could have one night with anyone, it would be. . .

I'd love to have dinner with Nelson Mandela.

Frances Black will play in Vicar Street on 30 April
