People have been signing books of condolence at RTE and the offices of Kildare County Council in Naas for the veteran RTE broadcaster Marian Finucane.

The 69 year old – who passed away suddenly at her home on Thursday – had been due back on air this morning, January 4th, after her Christmas break.  

Last night the Late Late show featured a special tribute to her with contributions from a variety of different people - some of Marian’s friends and her colleagues from over the years. 

Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese also took part in the show and joined Susan to talk about Marian's legacy and life.
