The former RTÉ journalist Tommie Gorman has died. He was aged 68.
Mr Gorman, originally from Co Sligo, was RTÉ’s European correspondent and later the broadcaster’s Northern editor.
His most famous interview, though, was with Ireland captain Roy Keane during the Saipan World Cup debacle of 2002 when he asked Keane: “What about all the little kids in Ireland who have you as a role model who would love to see you back in the World Cup and are absolutely appalled that this row has taken place and do not know what to say?”
He retired from RTÉ in 2021 and went on to publish a memoir Never Better: My Life in our Times, in 2022.
