Miguel Sanchez Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Week 11 update One death this week, Irish journalist Charlie Bird: Charlie Bird: Former RTÉ journalist and broadcaster dies aged 74 - BBC News Quote Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird has died at the age of 74. The former RTÉ correspondent had motor neurone disease (MND). Mr Bird joined the Irish broadcaster in 1974 as a researcher in their current affairs department, before moving into news in 1980. He was at the forefront of the reporting of the Northern Ireland peace process during the 1990s with the Provisional IRA choosing him as their primary media contact in the Republic of Ireland. As a reporter he travelled the world reporting from Rwanda, Washington, Indonesia and Haiti – before retiring as RTÉ’s chief news correspondent in 2010. He died on Monday and is survived by his wife Claire, daughters Orla and Nessa, grandchildren Abigail, Charlie, Edward, Harriet and Hugo, and his three brothers. I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about Ireland or Irish journalism (certainly not as much as the people picking him presumably do) but based on this BBC obituary, he sounds like a credit to his profession. There have been a few motor neuron disease picks in the Dead Pool over the years and it never gets any easier reading about what happens to people suffering from it. Nobody deserves that. Bird died at 74 so he's worth 51 Base Points for @Aim Here, @Arbroathlegend36-0, @Darren, @El Guapo and @mathematics. @Billy Jean King gets a Vice-Captain bonus for 77 points. @Forest_Fifer gets a Captain bonus for 102 points.
