Eirebhoy - TV3 Morning Show

Hagar

I've just finished watching a 20 minute piece on Eirebhoy on TV3. His mother was interviewed live and told the whole story of his time in OZ and his death. She spoke of his many friends on the internet, she mentioned Boards and Foot.ie, and the support they gave the family. She told us how the family allowed his organs to be used and they saved the lives of 6 people. It was very sad but uplifting at the same time.

The episode should be viewable tomorrow on the TV3 website.
Look under Videos > Daily shows > The Morning Show.

Excellent stuff. Thanks OP. His mother is an absolute rock. Even in her previous interviews she was as brave and forgiving as I could ever hope to be.

Thread Stickied for a few days, he was a great contributor to the site. I'll post a link to the piece when it comes online so that all of his friends on the forum have an opportunity to view it.

How far in does the bit start?

Hagar

They have the video clip mis-labeled obviously today is Thurs 4th not Wed 4th.

It should be available in the next 24 hours.

I've rarely been more moved or inspired by someone's words than I was when I heard his Mam interviewed on radio only a few days after his death.

What a wonderfully dignified and genuinely decent human being, to speak the way she did in the most trying of circumstances possible. To hold no ill-will towards the guy who caused his death goes beyond any gesture I could ever comprehend.

I just seen it now. It was difficult to watch.

My heart goes out to his mother, family and anyone that knew him.

RIP Eirebhoy.

We chat to Oscar hopeful Kathleen O'Rourke and hear how one woman's battle with depression lead her to the edge.

This doesn't seem to be the right one?

Is that deffo it?

Can't open it in work and want to send it on to folks...

Hagar

There seems to be a continuing fault with each show. It's labelled incorrectly for the first 24/48 hours but then appears to be correct if you wait and select it from the archive. If you can't view it today, try the archive tomorrow.

HTH

It's not there at all - just Wednesday's one about the get-fit fatties and Friday's about some oscar hopeful.

I was thinking; you know the way in football some numbers are retired. Can we do the same here for user name eirebhoy?

Well, no-one else could use that name, it's in the database.

However, it would be pretty shítty to see someone with the name "eirebhoyII" or something equally stupid.

His Mum on The Last Word right now.

jez. its fairly heart renching stuff

Good interview, hopefully it'll prompt a few more to "tick the box" and donate organs.

kryogen

That lady is an absolute rock, i cant imagine what she and the family have been through and for her to come out and be open in discussion on this is truly amazing to me

Pepe LeFrits

It's in the archive now. Very, very sad.

Whoa ! Very emotional.

Spiritoftheseventies

Yes great that Eirebhoy is being remembered this way. Well done on the thread. Awful for the mother. Very hard to watch that.

MrJoeSoap

Fantastic stuff. She's every bit as nice as he was.

If she reads this, or any of his family, really hope they're all doing well.

anyone here that knew him personally?

I was in school with him, he was a year behind, but I did 4th year so we were in some of the same classes together for two years. He also lived near me so I'd bump into him that odd time. Very friendly lad. Couldnt believe it when I heard the news.
