There is a lot of love for Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh on Twitter after his appearance on last night's Late Late Show...
Speaking in a pre-recorded interview with stand-in host Miriam O'Callaghan from his home where he has been self-isolating to stay safe from the Covid-19 pandemic, the legendary GAA commentator, who turns 90 later this year, retains a positive and optimistic outlook on matters despite the threat posed by the coronavirus.

This is good programming from @rte on what could be a frightening night in Ireland. For generations of Irish people, Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh is a familiar and reassuring voice, and what he says here is positive and beautiful. Maith an fear. https://t.co/ANptgFKrmW

Great seeing the amazing and ever engaging Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh @rte on The Late Late Show. His delightful way of using Irish and English in the same sentence made him my favourite sports commentator bar none. A total pleasure to listen to.

My uncle Michéal Ó Muircheartaigh was inspirational on #LateLateShow & spoke about his aunt who died in Great Flu in New York in 1918. Back then was a great @kerryman_ie write-up on Nellie Moriarty ó Dhúnsíon. pic.twitter.com/56TaTo1eyD
