Claire Byrne is opening up about her decision to quit her popular Claire Byrne Live prime time current affairs show.
“But we, here at home, have to write you off on a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and then you are back with us on a Wednesday [when the workload of her Monday night TV show would slow down each week]. But, whatever makes you happy, go and do it.’ “She cried every time I left the house on a Monday. Every time. It broke my heart. She is five years old and she is starting school next week.”
“My guess is that it wasn’t expected in RTE. But I feel very strong and I feel like it took guts and courage. I feel like I took back my own power in making that call.
