Tears as long lost families reunited for Christmas

Tears flowed in the Late Late Show studio last night after two families with members long cast to far corners of the globe were reunited for Christmas.

Supermacs' ‘Bring Them Home’ campaign resulted in Michael Murphy and sons Patrick and Calum; and Gareth Quann with wife Jacque and little girl Sadhbh, being revealed to their respective families amid emotional scenes.

The annual competition had resulted in hordes of applicants pitching their stories to the Tubridy Show on 2FM all this month, and last night’s emotional reunion was a suitably tearful finale.
