Legendary Late Late host Gay Byrne about his five decade spanning career

Oct 21, 2014, 09:54 AM

My big interview this week is one of the most famous broadcasters Ireland has ever produced. As presenter of the RTE's flagship chat show The Late Late Show for 37 years, Gay Byrne became an Irish TV legend and made the programme an institution that holds a special place in Irish society to this day. In the past week we played part of this interview that you are about to hear, and there was a huge reaction to his controversial comments when he says he would consider taking his own life if he was in pain near death.
