Magee: My son donated brain to help find a cure

Legendary RTÉ star Jimmy Magee hopes that his son’s donor brain could help provide the cure for the disease that killed him.

Jimmy Magee’s eldest son Paul became one of the first people in Ireland to become a donor to the brain bank in Beaumont Hospital after he died in 2008 from motor neuron disease.

The commentator told the Tubridy Show he would love to see his son’s brain being used to provide a breakthrough for the terminal condition.
