The funeral of journalist Mary Raftery, who died earlier this week, has taken place today in Dublin.

Among the mourners at the funeral were husband David, son Ben and mother Ita.


While Taoiseach Enda Kenny and President Michael D Higgins were unable to attend, both were represented at the emotional event by their Aide de Camps.

Also in attendance were many high-profile figures from the fields of broadcasting and journalism including RTE’s Director General Noel Curran and editor of the Irish Times Kevin O’Sullivan.

Survivors of child abuse, of which Raftery worked extensively to combat through investigative journalism, and those who represent them were also among the mourners.
