    That's really cool, he recorded his voice and words before his symptoms got worse. Poor Charlie a disease no one deserves. Stay strong.

      I think it came from old reports

      No, it’s a digital version of his own voice trained using his own speech. Sounds amazing. Marino software is the company that provided this, I think.

      There's a documentary about how it was done. They ran loads of old reports through a computer program and in typing things out, it gives the result in his voice.

      He knows too much, that's why his voice was silenced. God bless Charlie, you were one of the good ones. God will have a place for you in future, take care Charlie, see you up there in the big circus in the sky.

      Prayers are useless. Tony holohan needs to be jailed and the Irish need to fucking wake up
      Irish people are traumatised, subservient and weak

    Poor Charlie....saw him once outside the Dail passing me....I thought he was a beautiful looking man so elegant in his long winter thick coat. He smiled and chatted to people...I could see he was nice. I don't own a TV and tho I knew he was diagnosed I am very upset as I forgot and I see he has really degenerated verbally in the last year....so so sad for a great great broadcaster....wish I'd gone up now, shook his hand and said hello.....he was always a good kind man in interviews....

    What a strong man,Paying tribute to a brave and inspirational lady who was a hero in her own right.Its confusing to see Charlie at times when he looks so healthy yet not hear him speak, but I must say the technology that recreates his beloved voice is truly mind-blowing,he still in some way has his trademark tone.These are the real Heroes we should take our inspiration from,not fake titted Kardashians and the other tripe that dominates the media and airwaves.

      How about the Irish get off their knees and remove and jail the likes of fine Gael , FF and Tony holohan ?! ZERO self respect ..Irish people lack the ability to be really sincere it's all superficial and traditional

      John do you have a Carer coming to help you? Or family or friends who call to you? If so, please ask them to dial the Samaritans Phone Number for you. I’m sure they would be glad to help in any way they can.

      У меня в Украине знакомая Таня так.болеет.Бьет муж и гонит из дома.Покусала ее их собака.Нет еды.Идет кровь из вены , где рана.Рассеянный склероз 30 лет уже.Ходит с палкой.Помолитесь о ннй , добрые люди.

      Little less god and thoughts and prayers and Ireland might not have the buckled public services and the corrupt system that led to this cervical scandal. More women will die soon thanks to fine Gael/ FF/ HSE

      GOD BLESS sensible Irish people who will stand up for once in the future and demand real change, an end to corruption, transparency the Irish don't know the meaning of the word. Shame on Tony holohan and I hope he rots in hell.
