Patrick Kielty paid a tearful tribute to his late mother, Mary Kielty, during RTE 's Late Late Show St. Patrick's Day special on Friday evening.
Mary Kielty passed away peacefully just hours after Patrick hosted the Late Late Show last Friday night. Patrick's brother, John, told mourners at the Church of the Sacred Heart about the impact of losing husband Jack when he was shot dead by the Ulster Freedom Fighters in 1988 had on his mother.“Further attempts at girls resulted in Paddy in 1971 and Cahal in 1977.“Our memories are different. We had a brilliant childhood. We had the beach, the school, the castle and the football field a few hundred yards, and summer holidays in Wexford.
“I assumed that daddy started us off playing football, but Mary did, taking us and half of Dundrum to matches in the car.“Mary’s life changed in 1988, when daddy was killed. Left with three sons, 18 and under, it was a real bad hand of cards.
