Paul Galvin has opened up about the recent death of his “wonderful” mother for the first time
The former Kerry footballer appeared on Friday night’s episode of The Late Late Show, where host Ryan Tubridy offered him his condolences on his mum’s passing.
Paul said: “She passed away four months ago. The summer just gone. She’s a loss to us now.”
The 42-year-old continued: “She was a master of silence and the one liner. She had a wonderful command of silence.”
“She could sit in silence and you’d be studying her, saying how could she sit there in silence for so long? And next thing she’d come up with a one-liner and steal the show. She had a quick wit.”
“She left great stuff behind her. We carry on now in her memory.”
Paul also spoke on the show about his two daughters, who he shares with his wife Louise Duffy.
He said: “I have a one-year-old ruling the roost and a four-year-old. Enid and Esme, they’re my girls.”
“And the other woman in my life, Louise, who dressed me this evening, would you believe?”
