RTE Late Late viewers were moved to tears during Friday night's show as campaigners spoke of the birth defects, hurt and distress caused to thalidomide survivors and their families.
It's been 60 years since the controversial drug was removed from the Irish market. Thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women suffering morning sickness during the 1950s and right up until 1962.
It had been removed from the market internationally the year before but remained on sale here.
