Acclaimed former RTÉ journalist Tommie Gorman has died at the age of 68, the broadcaster has said.
Mr Gorman, from Sligo, worked for RTÉ for more than 40 years and was its northern editor at the time of his retirement in 2021.
He had been diagnosed with cancer in 1994.
Gorman was RTÉ’s Europe editor before moving to Belfast in 2001.
He famously interviewed Roy Keane after the footballer’s row with manager Mick McCarthy in the Republic of Ireland team’s Japan 2002 World Cup training camp on the island of Saipan.
Gorman also tracked down poet Seamus Heaney on a Greek island after he had won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
