In Mountjoy Jail one Monday morning
High upon the gallows tree

As he walked to death that morning
He proudly held his head on high

We would like to share with you Parting Words. It is a podcast about the messages we leave behind.​ Through personal stories, music, and reflection, it explores how grief shapes us and how parting words can echo long after goodbye.​
Each episode invites a well-known guest (artist, broadcaster, athlete, thinker) to reflect on someone they’ve lost, share the soundtrack of their mourning, and imagine the final message they’d leave behind — with warmth, wit, and wisdom.

In this first conversation, broadcaster Muireann O’Connell speaks with Colm Hayes, who reflects on the life of his beloved wife, Anne, and the six years they lived with her cancer diagnosis. Colm’s honesty, humour and tenderness set the tone for this 6 part series rooted in connection and compassion.
