Brian D’Arcy at 80

Sunday Sequence

Available for 16 days

Father Brian D’Arcy turns 80 today. He’s Ireland's best known priest, a journalist, a broadcaster, and someone who has never shied away from speaking his true feelings about some of the most important religious, political and social issues. Brian sat down with Audrey Carville to talk about love and loneliness, look back at some the moments that changed the course of his life, what happened after he spoke out against clerical abuse on The Late Late Show, how he’s not afraid of dying, and his biggest regret … going home instead of staying an extra day in Vegas to meet Elvis!
