Christy's daughter says he wanted remains scattered across Ireland

- SANDRA MALLON

THE daughter of Aslan star Christy Dignam has revealed her father's final wish before he died was to have his ashes scattered in every county in Ireland.

The Crazy World hitmaker, 63, died on June 23, 2023, following a 10-year battle with a rare blood disorder.

Thousands turned out for his funeral at the time before the singer was cremated in a private ceremony.

Now Kiera reveals Christy's final wish to his family about what to do with his ashes after he was gone.

She revealed: "The thing with my dad was... he had a strange wit so before he died, he had said to mam 'I want to be scattered in every county in Ireland'.

"Mam said it to Darren [Kiera's husband] and even if he was just saying it to wind us up, we have tried to do that.
