First Dates Ireland is the Irish version of the international reality television series First Dates.

The show is filmed at The Gibson Hotel on Mayor Street in the Point Village in Dublin City, with Mateo Saina showing many people on dates, all of whom have not met each other before. At the end of the date, the couples are interviewed together and asked whether they would like to see each other again.

The restaurant's maitre d' is Croatian born and Dublin resident Mateo Saina who offers pieces to camera on the nature of love, romance and dating. Joining Mateo is his team of merry matchmakers; barman Ethan Miles and waitress Alice Marr, who will help set the scene and give romance the best possible chance to flourish.

Due to its success the series has been renewed for a second season of 12 episodes due to broadcast in 2017.
