There has been much written and spoken in the last days on Gay Byrne.
He was a giant in his profession. Radio and television were made for him.
In 1968 in the Dominican church in Pope's Quay, Cork, a priest preaching at a Sunday Mass referred to an item on 'The Late Late Show' the previous night. In doing so he called the programme 'The Hate Hate Show'.
A group of young Dominican students were present at the Mass. They spontaneously laughed and were all in agreement that the priest was talking nonsense and was gratuitously insulting Gay Byrne, the audiene and the programme.
One of the young men said: "He can't have spent much time or thought preparing his sermon. The Late Late Show' was just that, on late last night."
The priest was out of order, all he was doing was alienating people with ill-prepared words.
The seeds we sow......... And that was 1968.
