Send an email at liveline at rte.ie and Liam Sheehan is on the line.

Liam, people will remember that after he was acquitted in 2005, Michael Jackson, I think he spent time in Bahrain and then he spent time here in Ireland.

He was living in Cork and that's where you met him, is that right?

That's correct, yeah.

So how did that come about, your meeting him?

What was that like when you opened the door and Michael Jackson is standing in front of you in Blackwater Castle in Cork?

A bit of magic, which he loved dearly.

How much did he love it?

How often did he ask you down?

Pardon?

How often did he ask you down to the castle to entertain?

What kind of person was he?

How would you have described him at the time?

Were you mindful of the fact that he had just been acquitted of sexual abuse at the time against, was it Jason Irvizo was that case?

But it never gave you pause for thought.

You never thought, maybe I shouldn't be here.

I'm kind of, what did the, it gives you the ick, is what people say about certain things.

Maybe that's kind of trivialising it, describing it that way.

But you know what I mean?
