RTE will release a documentary on Niall Toibin featuring rare archive footage of the legendary actor and comedian.
The Cork man died after a long illness last month, just eight days shy of his 90th birthday.
He is predeceased by his wife Judy and is survived by his children Sean, Muireann, Aisling, Sighle and Fiana and his seven grandchildren.
Niall was born in Cork city on 21 November 1929.
He is best known for playing Father MacAnally in the hit BBC series which ran from 1996 until 2001, starring opposite Stephen Tompkinson and Dervla Kirwan.
In 2003, he scored another Hollywood role by playing Judge Ballaugh in Cate Blanchett's thriller Veronica Guerin.
He continued working up until last year, with his final project being a short film called Remains.
Toibin was handed a number of honours for his acting work over the years, picking up a lifetime achievement award from the Irish Film and Television Academy 2011 and being awarded the freedom of Cork in 2015.
And the national broadcaster announced today that they will be showing a new film on Niall's incredible seven decades in TV, stage, film and radio, called Niall Toibin: Everyman.
