The daughter of the great Bill O'Herlihy has said she was "happy and sad in equal measures" after her father made a cameo in the latest episode of RTÉ hit show Reeling in the Years.
Sunday evening's episode covered 2014 - a year which saw the Garth Brooks saga dominate the news and make it's way into the Dáil as well as the water charges fiasco and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
And it was the latter which saw the legendary broadcaster host his final show for the station before retirement.
O'Herlihy had been working for RTE for over five decades before hanging up the mic.
He would pass away just a year later.
But his daughter Jill O'Herlihy took to Twitter to give her honest and emotional reaction to seeing her Dad on the TV once again.
Responding to RTE's Maureen Catterson, Jill said:
"Makes me so happy and sad in equal measures to see Dad pop up on the TV."
After the episode aired, there was one main topic that RTE viewers wanted to discuss and it revolved around a fiasco involving the GAA, the White House, the Mexican Ambassador, over 400,000 disappointed fans, five nights and one country-western icon.
It could only be the Garth Brooks concert fiasco that just ran and ran and ran.
"I forgot how insane the Garth Brooks story was! I remember the rage on Joe Duffy was spectacular. A simpler time," Embarrassed over the Garth Brooks thing all over again," and "that whole Garth Brooks debacle was such an embarrassment," were remarks left by viewers who still remember the saga too well.
"The Garth Brooks fiasco is without a doubt the funniest thing Ireland has ever done, "Can’t believe Garth Brooks playing in Croker actually went to the Dáil floor," and "Martin proposing emergency legislation to get Garth Brooks to play. Bloody hell," were some comments made by viewers.
