Charlie Bird has thanked the Irish public and praised their “unbelievable support” ahead of a charity climb of Croagh Patrick in just over five weeks’ time.

The former RTÉ journalist was in Dunnes Stores at Stephen’s Green in Dublin on Wednesday as the retailer joined his efforts and will ask customers to add an extra €2 to their shopping to give to the Climb with Charlie campaign.
