RTÉ's Mary Kennedy on embracing the ageing process

IT’S the question many are tempted to ask a woman who’s ageing gracefully on our television screens: has she had a little bit of ‘help’?

RTÉ presenter Mary Kennedy lets out a yelp at the thought of any needle coming within close proximity of her body — not to talk of her face.

So that’s a no? “No! I will be heading off to Mozambique with the Nationwide team and I have to get some shots and I’m petrified at the thought of the sight of a syringe... I’ll have to turn away,” she says.
