I would have expected him to mention Being Human, Ripper Street or Suspects as something he's been in that people would recognize him from, not plays and movies that haven't come out yet. 

His voice was shaking, and he talked fast. I wondered if he was nervous. Maybe he only had a brief time and knew it, and hit the things people might not know as much about, rather than reviewing the obvious.

He did talk fast/seem nervous.  Doesn't seem like the panel was rehearsed or pre-planned in any way. The interviewer should have introduced each person with some of their credits.  It's perplexing/disappointing he didn't mention BH, RS, and Suspects.  But I suppose they feel like a long time ago for him in relationship to the films and plays he's just done the past year.  I'm glad he did mention films.  Let's not downplay your acheivements Damien.  His CV is growing quite nicely. 

 

And oohhh, the teaser about the comedy!  He's slipping!  But.... what does that mean for Suspects filming I wonder....

Yep! He is gaining a nice CV...and I can understand why he might want to focus on more recent things.  Being able to say 'I've got 2 films coming out later this year' must be amazing!  But I thought he was asked what people would recognise him from....and, quite honestly the answer to that is likely to be BH and RS.

I wondered about Suspects filming too.....although i guess they could rattle off another 4 eps in a few days!  I feel a bit as though channel 5 need to show the eps they already have before I can focus too much on whether they're gonna film any more.  It does look as though Flight returning to RS is fairly unlikely though rosie 

The video has now expired - Did everyone have a chance to watch it?!

If not, here are Damien's panel responses:

 

I am based in the UK and this is the first time I have worked for RTE, it was amazing, we came back to Dublin, in October I think , shot a huge amount in Hoagh [?], which mirrors very well for Wexford and then we shot 3 weeks in Wexford which was like a holiday, obviously it was a brilliant time.

 I have been based in the UK for the last 4 years, I went to drama school there, I've done a huge amount of theatre there, and I've got a couple of films coming out this year, one actually with Brian (gestures to Brian), we were in the desert in Jordan last August tearing around and sweating which was a huge amount of fun, which should be out later this year and I'm about to start a comedy for E4 next month.

Agree fifi, you're right, they were on the spot responses!
Who knows... Maybe Damien wanted to highlight the fact that he has a massive theatre career too, when he IS already known for his TV roles? And we know he is a massive film fan and Brian Gleeson was sitting a couple of chairs aways from him and is also sounds to me like his is super excited about Tiger Raid. Larger role than KYF too.

Yup. Damien has excelled in just about every acting field, inculding radio too! and he's been working hard at it for years!

Maybe, as Hal would say, I wouldn't overanalyse it, but it is fun to speculate.
