Charlie Bird said he hopes he will be reunited with his good friend Vicky Phelan after his death.
The former RTE broadcaster told of his gratitude to be celebrating another Christmas after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in October of last year. I meet the veteran newsman in a Greystones cafe with his beloved wife Claire and their loyal cockapoo Tiger by their side.
Asked if he believes in heaven he replies, using his voice recording device: “I don’t know... If it’s there the only person I want to meet is my new found friend Vicky Phelan. She is one of my heroes.”
