The 84-year-old shared that he had no idea where they picked it up from, but it was after they returned to Dublin from their holiday home in Spain.

Back in March he said that Covid had made a severe impact on his wife; “Judy was taken away in an ambulance. It’s very dangerous getting something like this at her age, and she wasn’t eating. She got really bad, they rushed her in.”

Continuing he added; “We’d been avoiding Covid for the last two years but since coming back to Dublin, I picked it up. I have no idea where? And I passed it on to Judy.”

Our thoughts are with Dickie, the couple’s six children and their friends and family at this sad time.
