The man whom many people consider the best broadcaster to ever come from the state, Gay Byrne turns 80 years old today. The veteran television star insists he has no plans on retiring, and ever though he took a break for a few years when he finished presenting The Late Late Show at the age of 66 in 1999, Gay plans on continuing his presenting right up into his 90’s.
His Lyric FM radio show and his ‘Meaning of life’ show are still topping ratings. We wish him well.
