Dr Terry left (almost) speechless by honour

ONE of Limerick’s most famous sons and celebrated broadcaster, Terry Wogan, described the occasion as “one of the proudest moments” of his life.

He returned to his native city over the weekend to be conferred with an honorary Doctorate of Letters by the University of Limerick in recognition of his services to broadcasting and the promotion of a range of Irish causes.

Mr Wogan, who has been one of the most successful broadcasters on both radio and television for over 40 years, said: “I am privileged to be honoured by the University of Limerick in my own city.”
