Broadcasting legend Gay Byrne has revealed that he’s “just not up to” making a comeback to radio.
The 84-year-old RTE star is currently being treated for prostate cancer and had previously said that he was planning on returning to his Lyric FM show.
But the Dubliner said this week: “We haven’t really gotten into that.”
“I’m not doing anything at the moment. I’m just not up to it."

He told the Irish Star: “I would rather not be starting on radio career, than when I did start because the competition is colossal.
“From every radio station in the country, you’re up against the national radio stations and you’re up against the local radio stations and then you’re up against a whole host of podcasts.”
Back in January, Gay had said that he had good days and bad days, and he hoped for the best while continuing with the treatment.
