Gay Byrne retired, not right after this but eventually and worked on road safety until he died

This clip gets me every single time. How Gay Byrne handled this, when caught so off guard, is a testament to the amazingly talented broadcaster that he was. So professional and yet so human. Fabulous broadcaster

For those interested, this was 29 years ago in 1997. Poor soul taken so very young.

Wasn't old Ireland alot more wholesome that whats going on in the world today. I know the past wasnt perfect, but it was alot simpler and more genuine.

Ms. Malone :
The irony was she won a car, by answering a question about alcohol and her daughter was killed by a drunk driver 👀 The poem at the end was so beautiful. You could hear her silently crying in the background 😭

Answer was whiskey and she won a car, the daughter was knocked down by a drunk driver. Bizarre.
