Michael attended Newbridge College and spent some time as a novice in the Dominicans. He is a nephew of the late Fr Charlie O'Beirne.
Along with working for RTE, Michael is also a psychoanalyst.
On the programme he quoted a sentiment from Pope Emeritus Benedict concerning homosexuality. The famous line on the 'inherent evil....'
He spoke about the physical abuse he received from his late father.
"Silence is the oxygen in which abuse thrives." He went on to talk about how we see maintaining a dignified silence as something good and noble.
Michael read a poem on the damage caused by 'maintaining a dignified silence'.
