Down with that sort of thing: Dermot Morgan's sons launch Heart Month

The family of the late Father Ted actor launched the Irish Heart Foundation’s Heart Month September campaign later today.

BROTHERS ROB, DON and Ben Morgan – who lost their father to a heart attack 14 years ago – are urging people to avail of free blood pressure checks offered by the Irish Heart Foundation over September.

The three men took part in a photo shoot with model Tiffany Stanley this morning to try and encourage people to attend one of many free mobile blood pressure roadshows taking place nationwide.

Using Father Ted’s famous ‘Careful Now’ and ‘Down with this sort of thing’ phrases, the campaign hopes to reduce people’s risk of heart attack and stroke.
