The presenter had a close bond with both of his parents
RTE sports presenter Marty Morrissey has been vocal about loss since the passing of his mother Peggy., and has previously shared how being an only child made their family unit very close.Ninety-four-year-old Peggy Twomey died after her car crashed into a field, while his father died suddenly, before Christmas, in 2004.
He says spirituality is a comfort, as Marty told of how he hopes there is an afterlife so he can one day see his mum again. The star today apologised in relation to an "ad hoc" arrangement with Renault which saw him maintain the use of a car for a number of years."In the interests of openness and transparency, I would like to address certain questions that have been raised over recent days,” his statement said.“In light of recent events, one potential issue did come into focus. In 2017 I was asked to MC a series of functions in Renault garages across the country.
