Did you spot this?
Met Éireann and RTÉ weather woman Joanna Donnelly added a very special message at the end of her weather forecast last night.
Instead of just bidding all viewers a good night she directed it at one person, Mary. It left a lot of people very confused.

@rte @MetEireann not a typical sign off on tonight’s weather report #goodnightmary ?

So, who is Mary?
The Mary she is referring to is Mary Tyler Moore who sadly passed away yesterday. The Veteran actress, who is best known for her role on The Dick Van Dyke Show, died at the age of 80.
RIP Mary Tyler Moore.
