We take a look in the archives to bring you this exclusive interview and photoshoot with Charlie in January 2022
Isn’t it incredible the response and love you are getting from people since we arrived at the beach today? I had just come back from Washington [as RTÉ’s correspondent]. I have said this before but I shouldn’t have gone to Washington. I was too long doing the same job, standing outside Leinster House dealing with politicians. When I went to Washington, my first grandchild Charlie was born. I met Claire who was coming back and forth so I just wanted to be at home with my family. I have two daughters and I have five grandkids, so every day with them is precious to me.
