Charlie Bird was one of RTÉ’s most renowned news correspondents who reported on some of the biggest stories in Ireland and internationally during his 40-year career rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Charlie Bird, RIP.

“I have no intention of hiding away – and for as long as I can, I want to help everyone who is in a dark place. And up until my final breath, I am going to continue to extend the hand of friendship.” - Charlie Bird May you rest in peace and rise in power 🕊️

Any single one of Charlie Bird’s many journalistic accomplishments - uncovering tax dodging, Stardust, political scandals - would be career-defining. For one man to have covered so much, yet to be remembered more for who he was, and not what he did, says so much. RIP, Charlie.

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more
