Christy Dignam's heartbreaking last words as he pleaded for more time with family

In his final ever interview in April, Christy Dignam begged for more years to be with his family.

Christy told the RTE host Ryan Tubridy how he wished he had more time. In the hour-long interview, he said: “Just fear, nobody wants to die. When I first got diagnosed, I remember praying I was like, 'Please, just give me 10 more years'.

"And that 10 years are up now and you're kind of saying, 'I know I only asked for 10 but you couldn't throw another 10 in there could you, yeah?'"
