Charlie Bird has apologised to his well wishers and supporters as he issued a heartbreaking health update.
The veteran RTE journalist, who is battling Motor Neurone Disease, has told the public that he is no long able to respond to correspondence personally. It's due to the deterioration of his health which includes more uncontrolled crying in public.
Charlie has recently suffered a couple of falls due to the condition which he was diagnosed with in late 2021. The 73-year-old has also lost the capability to speak and uses a computer with his voice to communicate.
