In May, RTÉ's long-serving broadcaster Duffy concluded his 37-year career, signing off from Liveline, a program he hosted since 1998. His final show was attended by past callers and colleagues, and he expressed gratitude towards his listeners, emphasizing the privilege of his role. President Michael D Higgins acknowledged Duffy's significant impact on Irish life and praised his empathy and dedication to marginalized voices. Taoiseach Micheál Martin also expressed appreciation for Duffy's authenticity and kindness. Music performances closed the emotional farewell, marking the end of an impactful era in Irish broadcasting.
"Slán go foill. That's all from me from Liveline. Love you all, it's been a privilege. It's been a privilege."
"On behalf of the Irish people, I want to extend my warmest of thanks for your remarkable contribution to Irish life, with your ongoing commitment to justice and equality."
