Former Archbishop of Canterbury Shares the Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne this Sunday

This Sunday (March 1) – St David’s Day – Gay Byrne’s guest on The Meaning of Life is, appropriately enough, a Welshman – the former Archbishop of Canterbury and now Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, Dr Rowan Williams (pictured).

Recorded in the home of the satirist and former Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, Jonathan Swift, it’s a very wide–ranging, candid, thoughtful and, at times, funny interview with the former leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

The programme airs at 10.30pm on Sunday March 1, on RTÉ One. The programme will be accessible on the RTÉ Player outside the island of Ireland for just three days after transmission, so people overseas can view it at http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/live/7/ or afterwards on www.rte.ie/player<http://www.rte.ie/player>

To get an advance taste of the interview, there are a series of YouTube clips available:
