Ireland's most iconic interview: Nuala O'Faolain on dying from cancer
Just months after learning she had cancerous tumors in her brain, liver, and lungs, the Irish journalist and writer Nuala O'Faolain passed away on May 9, 2008.
Less than a month before her untimely death, she transfixed Ireland with a candid, heartbreaking live interview on RTE with her close friend, the presenter Marian Finucane.
That interview became iconic and is widely considered one of the best and most extraordinary in the history of Irish broadcasting.
The interview was recorded in Galway, where O'Faolain was having radiation therapy.
After Finucane and her producer Anne Farrell discussed whether the interview should be aired on mainstream radio on a Saturday morning due to the heavy content, they agreed to go ahead with the completely unedited interview, but with an explicit warning at the beginning of the program.
O'Faolain, author of "Are You Somebody," "Almost There," "My Dream of You,"
