The presenter, whose father was shot dead by Ulster Freedom Fighters during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, recalled his experience of growing up in a conflict zone.
Ireland's Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty has sent a message of hope to families who are suffering in Israel and Palestine.
As he closed Friday night’s episode on RTE, the Irish national broadcaster, Kielty said: “Before we go, I would just like to say that so many of us here on the Late Late Show want to send our love to the family of Kim Damti and all the families whose lives this week have been ripped apart in Israel and Palestine.
“We all shared something, but we just didn’t realise it at the time – and there were days when we thought it would never end.” “And for all those in Israel and Palestine tonight, it mightn’t seem like it but there is always hope and we hope that your miracle comes soon.” Palestinians are currently struggling to flee from areas of Gaza targeted by the Israeli military after power and water supplies to the region were stopped ahead of an expected land offensive.
