The family of Gay Byrne is requesting that anyone who wishes to donate in his memory to do so to two charitable organisations which helped the late broadcasting star.
The former RTE Late Late Show host, who spent 37 years at its helm, had been ill for some time and sadly passed away at the age of 85 on Monday.
His funeral mass will be held at St Mary's Pro-Cathedral on Marlborough Street in Dublin city centre at 12pm on Friday, November 8.
Mr Byrne's family are asking anyone who wished to make a donation to please do so to either to the Irish Cancer Society at St Francis Hospice.
