Following Saoirse’s appearance on The Toy Show, Ryan Tubridy, who used to host Late Late, became friends with her family. He said that the “world is a poorer place” without her.
“It is with the greatest sadness imaginable that I’ve heard the news of my dear young friend, Saoírse Ruane’s passing.
“We became friends instantly when we met. She told her story, the nation fell in love with her and a charity began because of her and with that she helped enrich and encourage the lives of thousands of children in Ireland.
“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.
“I send my condolences and all the love possible to Roseanna, Ollie and Farrah Rose, a beautiful family whose world has changed utterly.
“I want to thank them for sharing their extraordinary Saoírse with us all.
“The world is a poorer place without Saoírse but I do hope that twinkle in her eye shines on and on.”
Saoírse’s funeral will take place at St Peter and Paul’s Church, Kiltullagh on Sunday at 1.45pm.
May she rest in peace.
