Former Late Late host Ryan Tubridy has paid tribute to Toy Show star Saoírse Ruane following her death at the age of 12.
Saoírse, who inspired the Late Late Show Toy Show appeal, passed away on Tuesday morning following a long illness.
“A selfless, humble, kind, optimistic and thoughtful child. She was everything we should and could be as a country and her passing will put so much into perspective for so many of us. Her appearance on the show saw the founding of the Toy Show appeal, which has since raised millions of euros for children’s charities.
“A pupil of Kiltullagh National School, Saoírse will be missed but always remembered by her school friends and teachers, who have travelled the road with Saoírse on her journey, and were a source of joy and fun to her.
