No.

No, I just know who my mother was.

She sadly died five years ago.

My birth mother died five years ago.

She was in St.

Patrick's Home on the Navan Road.

Did you have the chance to have a relationship with her?

No.

That's a kind of really weird thing.

It took me a long time to find out who she was because of the system in Ireland at the time made it so difficult.

And for those who are in that situation, it's not a Cilla Black moment.

You know what I mean?

It's kind of odd.

You're meeting this woman that you have absolutely no relationship with, no connection with.

And I remember before she died, which was quite sad, I had gone to see her a couple of times just for a little chat, trying to find out who my father was because she wouldn't tell me.

And she gave me a few clues, all right.

But she said to me, she said, it's all right for you to call me ma'am.

It broke my heart.

It was really difficult because I can't call her ma'am.

My mother was my mother was nearly who died about 15, 16 years ago.
