This is bullying from women at the time who had no voice fair play to Annie for talking the truth 😢

Back then yes, now I think she would not be facing against so much. She did say in an interview a few years back that she is amazed at how Ireland has changed.

Omg, I remember that interview and thought how unfeeling Gay was. But, after watching it all again I think what a horrible interview that was and how composed Anne stayed. I really hope we have come a long way since then. The way he allowed those people to speak to her for so long was just terrible.

What a woman she handled herself so well. People there should be ashamed of themselves

OMG the way women were treated on the late late show Annie Murphy was a very elegant lady

What a brave, elegant and dignified lady. I’m ashamed as to how she was treated by both the audience members and by our backward country. I hope we’ve improved since then… I think we have

💯 agree. I remember having a huge row with my mother at the time. She was of an era when the clergy were idolised and subservience was expected from people. My own mother's words I can still hear today: " She tempted him into breaking his vows". Such was the brainwashing of the Catholic Church. My mother was born in 1930s. I'm glad I'm Irish and born in 50s. At least we have the opportunity to tell the Church to fu(k off. Bunch of paedophiliac hypocrites. Gay Byrne apologised years later apparently. Even he had to acknowledge what a wanker he'd been and how shitty his behaviour was to Annie.

Iv just watched this interview this poor woman was being attacked from elderly sad females that probably fantised about this mam in a frock. He's a man like any other taking advantage of a girl who had some mental health problems. Here we go again with frustrated Irish priest. I wished I'd been in the studio that day tight laced frustrated people who spoke on this. Hope she had a lovely life with her son.

I am so proud of Annie Murphy, what a brave woman. I cannot imagine what she went through at the time and over the years. As for the the women in the audience attack her and as for Gay he was less than professional and very rude to her, there’s no words to describe their behaviour. She was stronger than any of them and I’m sure has no regrets and has had and given much love to her son Peter. I am full of admiration for you Annie Murphy. Live your best live💖

Gay apologised, rightly, to Annie after this interview. He admitted that he had lost his professional objectivity during their discussion. She brushed off his apology. Annie told Gay that his brusque manner was mild compared to her treatment by the USA media. Annie told Gay that his antagonistic attitude towards her was indicative of the contemporary Irish people's view of her. Although a scandal at the time, Annie and Eamon's affair, was mild compared to the later revelations of clerical sexual abuse. These horrendous crimes were compounded by the Catholic Church and Irish state's failure to acknowledge and address the harm done.

Annie Murphy is a brave beautiful lady. Who has done a great job bring up her son. I hope she has found happiness in her life.

👒 👒 👒 off! To Annie Well done for exposing 👏 👍 Respect for you Your son should be very proud

That old woman in the pink cardigan (the Bishop's secretary) represents a very old fashioned reverence to the Clergy taking their side in blind obedience...and her sister in the glasses.

This interview is mad. I know nobody knew it at the time, but Casey has since been found guilty of molesting at least three women when they were girls. This guy was a predator, and even though Annie had sensationalized her affair, she was in her twenties at the time; bishop Casey completely took advantage of an immature and vulnerable woman. It's him that deserves the rebuke, not her.

You're right. That was one of the most biased interviews I've ever seen. If he really wanted Annie as a guest on the Late Late, but knew that he could not be impartial, due to his friendship with Casey, I really think that he should have had someone else conduct the interview in his stead for that leg of the show.

What a Disgusting way to treat a guest on your show ! Shame Shame Shame on the late Gay Byrne for his Snide remarks and allowing those Scumbags in the audience to speak to her like that ! Not One Bit of Blame was put on Casey the Dirty Rat who gave his Innocent Son just 5 Mins of his time ! Like I say Truly Disgusting behaviour from them All.

What a disgrace the way she was treated. These two fell in love, that is human.

Wasnt she only 24 and him 46 or something. Even that tells you a lot. And sadly, if people dont kniw it later transpired he sexually abused at least 3 young girls, including one (his niece) as young as 5. 😢

Once again women are held to a higher standard of moral behaviour. Eve the temptress. A bishop should be held to account far more than a woman recovering from abuse.

ANNIE is very beautuful

What a difficult thing to watch. I remember this when it was aired and had little inkling of just what an inflection point it was on Ireland's trajectory into the future. Annie Murphy took the heat of the first angry pangs of denial for a nation that needed to admit what huge problems it had been cultivating for so long. Like Sinead O' Connor and some other early whistleblowers, at least she's lived long enough to see the country transform unrecognisably in attitudes in a single generation.

Annie Murphy well done to you. I am so sorry you had to endure such ridicule. I would love to think your story would be believed and met with respect to day.

It’s funny the Bishop did not deny it. How lame of these people. He is going to develop a relationship and he is not his son????? I must buy the book. Good luck to Annie and Peter. These people were not in the bedroom.

What a sad and pathetic bunch of people in the audience, bleating like sheep as they try to protect "Their Bishop". Eamonn Casey was a man who succumbed to his emotional feelings in the moment and expressed them in a normal sexual fashion. He had a cosmic connection to Annie Murphy and she to him, the result was their son Peter, who now lives his life on his own cosmic level having inherited good human qualities from both his mother and father. Hopefully Ireland has become more enlightened since this archaic interview!

I was friends with Peter Murphy during my childhood in Simsbury, Connecticut, and also got to know his mother. They were lovely people. When the Eamon Casey scandal broke in 1992, I reconnected with Peter...but then we lost touch. I moved to Los Angeles in 1996, and am sorry I never connected with Annie while she was in Riverside, CA. Looking back, she was a woman with much bravery, and she and Peter were very, very kind to me.

I mean the judgement and hyprocisy

After everything that came out not long after Annie gave her story, I wonder what Gay's thoughts were about this interview.

God rest Gay but he gave her a terrible time.

The women and man talking from the front row were planted to cause her the most pain. Did anybody read her book ?. I did and found it very well written. The part with the Cross was very telling. The book was written when Casey refused to acknowledge his son.

bishop meets woman at airport - bishop drives like "bat outa hell wearing red socks" rest is his-story been going on since time began...... 19/11/2023

There is nothing in scripture which would prevent any bishop, priest etc from having a normal sexual relationship.

I always felt gb was so patronizing...i remember him asking a man in the audience what he did for a living and when he said unemployed...he dismissed his comment...

This interview was allowed to become a witch hunt...the woman in pink was utterly disrespectful of Annie...& that should have been handled by Gay imo...

Clearly many of the women who claim to know Bishop Casey well have never heard of House devil Street angel syndrome!! 😇

Years later didn’t the Bishop own up ?

A true lady.

I'd love to see Patrick Kielty handle this interview 😂😂😂

These people are mean and I think they are full of it. How dare they.

"Hows the son?"

The attitude of GByrne was directly related to his 2 daughters who were adopted out of the Convent this all happened. The NUNS sold the convent and Land for millions to Developers. Sunday Independent newspaper put a picture of the womens bones put into milkchurns to make way for the sale. The women were given dirty births so they would die and so leave the babies to be adopted by well to do families like the Byrnes. Her book relates the infection she had after the birth and the lady who took her in prior to the birth. She had become close to her and came to visit her after the birth. On the two visits she called an Ambulance as she was running a high temperature.

She is right, and she loved him and he loved her, and gay has nothing to do with it 😂

It takes two to tango, she wasn’t the one who took a vow of chastity. Why do they pretend/lie when we all know about the abuse that they inflict on people who put their trust in them. Sociopathic tendency’s, they use their their long black dresses as a form of control.

Very brave lady

Read her book and I believe everything she said

'Coquettish'...a word uttered from Gay in reference to Annie...how judgemental and inappropriate at 30:00...😢 she reared her son single handedly while his father disowned him & denied his responsibilities & Gay has the audacity to call him a great man & not compliment her for keeping & rearing her child in the face of Eamonn trying to undermine her & make her give the child for adoption by calling into question her ability to be a good mother...wow ..male arrogant chauvinism on Gay's part...💔

I’m glad my parents had gone before the abuse scandals broke, stating with Casey. Lifelong catholics, they trusted the church implicitly and stayed true to their faith till death. It would have broken their hearts to learn of the crimes and cover ups . A tragedy for all who trusted and for all the many decent priests who have been tarnished by association. Never again will the church wield such power over people.
