Limerick to open books of condolence for Terry Wogan

Books of condolence will open in Limerick this morning in honour of Terry Wogan.
The broadcasting legend passed away from cancer yesterday, at the age of 77.
His career spanned five decades, most notably he became the voice of Eurovision for more than 30 years.
Mayor of Limerick Liam Galvin says people in the county were immensely proud of Terry.
Limerick Council will open the books of condolence online and at their offices in Dooradolye and at Merchant’s Quay in the city.

He said: “He has been a wonderful ambassador for Limerick, while he spent the majority of his career and the majority of his time working with the BBC, he never forgot where he came from.

“There is an old saying ‘you can take the man out of the bog, but you can’t take the bog out of the man’, but certainly with Terry Wogan, you can take a man out of Limerick but you can’t take Limerick out of a man.

“That is all I can say about Terry Wogan.”
