Gay Byrne donated over €80,000 for Crumlin's Children's Hospital in an incredible gesture before his passing, it has emerged.
The RTE legend's daughter Crona revealed her father raffled off the Harley Davidson gifted to him by U2 and managed to raise a fantastic €82,000 for the Dublin hospital.
Gay received the bike from the popular Irish band during his final Late Late Show back in 1997, but Crona told the Clare Champion that instead of keeping it, he decided to put it to better use, RSVP Live reports.
She also told of how "incredible" the public's reaction to her dad's death has been, and is extremely grateful for everyone's well-wishes.
"Gay was such a mainstay for so many homes in Ireland for so many years," she told the publication.
"It is lovely to hear the stories people are posting on social media. Some beautiful stories are being shared.
"It is lovely to see how Gay touched so many lives. People didn’t know all the work Dad did behind the scenes."
Gay sadly passed away last week aged 85 after a long battle with prostate cancer.
Family and friends gathered at Dublin's St Mary's Pro-Cathedral Church as the legendary broadcaster was laid to rest on Friday, where his and wife Kathleen Watkins' other daughter Suzy paid tribute to him in the form of a touching poem.
