RTE's Late Late Show: Family of HPV campaigner Laura Brennan and Healy-Rae dynasty set to join Ryan Tubridy

Tonight's Late Late Show will pay tribute to HPV vaccine campaigner Laura Brennan, it has been revealed.

Laura rose to prominence after her appearance on the show in April last year, as she sought to raise awareness of the vaccine after being diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016.

The inspirational Co Clare woman sadly passed away on March 20 at the age of 26.

And now her family, mother Bernie, father Larry and brothers Colin, Fergal and Kevin, will join Ryan Tubridy to discuss her legacy and tragic death.

The family theme continues as political dynasty the Healy-Rae's are set to appear, where they will discuss their success at the local elections in Kerry.

Billionaire brothers Patrick and John Collison will also be on the show to speak on how they built their online payments firm Stripe, which is now valued at $22 billion.

Political satirist Oliver Callan is also on the line-up, with further details on his recent dinner date with members of the British royal family.

Ryan will also reveal Ireland's Favourite Folk Song, and the winning song will be performed by Luka Bloom.
