Gay Byrne’s wife Kathleen Watkins has revealed how it brought her family joy to have the legendary broadcaster at home surrounded by family for his final days. Speaking on The Late Late Show, Kathleen told Ryan about Gay's final days and how the family were able to spend time with him looking out at his favourite view. "It was wonderful for us to have him at home for days and there was chat around the bed. I remember somebody saying to me only a few days after Gay died: ‘Do you miss Gay?’ It was an awful thing to say to somebody because really you don’t know somebody is really gone yet, you just don’t. Ms Watkins revealed that she had been hospitalised a number of times since her husband's death but she is feeling good now.
