Gay Byrne’s grandson has revealed the affectionate nickname he called the legendary broadcaster.
Cian O’Byrne, 18, said he misses the RTE legend every day, recalling how Christmas Eve used to be his favourite time of year. He recalled how he used to affectionately call the former Late Late Show presenter ‘RaRa’ as Cian struggled as a child to say the word ‘grandad’.
He said: “We do miss him. I suppose, we are a small family so… it’s a big void that was left when he passed away so yeah we do miss him a lot. We called him in the family 'RaRa'.
