Charlie Bird’s wife Claire admitted she “threw a runner” at the retired broadcaster when he told her where he wanted to be buried.
The former RTE correspondent, who is battling motor neurone disease, previously revealed he wants to be laid to rest on the island of Inis Oirr. And now Claire said she will lay alongside him when her time comes – but she admitted her first reaction to his plans came as a surprise.
She told the RTE Guide: “The first time Bird brought me here I think I threw a runner at his head. I can’t remember why, but I’m sure he deserved it. I love the island.
