The funeral has taken place of Caroline Walsh, the literary editor of The Irish Times.
The funeral mass took place at University Church, St Stephen’s Green, and was followed by burial at Mount Jerome, in Harold’s Cross.
Her husband and novelist James Ryan and their two grown-up children, Matt and Alice, were joined in mourning by family, friends and colleagues from The Irish Times.
The National Union of Journalists was represented by Barry McCall, vice president, and Séamus Dooley, Irish secretary, in addition to Irish Times chapel officers.
Paul Cullen, father of the National Union of Journalists chapel at The Irish Times, said Ms Walsh would be greatly missed by her friends and colleagues.
She joined the The Irish Times as a journalist in 1975 and remained with the newspaper for her entire career, holding a number of senior editorial posts. She had been literary editor since 1999.
She is survived by her sister, the poet Elizabeth Peavoy. Her other sister, Valdi MacMahon, died just over a year ago.
Irish Times editor Kevin O'Sullivan paid tribute to her, describing her as a pioneering journalist who played a central role in the development of the newspaper for more than 35 years.
“Caroline’s work, whether as a writer on women’s issues in the early 1980s, as features editor or as literary editor, was notable for its intelligence, its vigour and, above all, its sense of purpose,” he said.
"She had a passionate commitment to outstanding journalism and good writing. She ensured The Irish Times celebrated new literary talent and introduced readers to important voices from outside the English-speaking world.
"She had a strong and vibrant Irish Times gene," he added.
Ms Walsh's Loose Leaves column also contained an insightful commentary on publishing. Her book, The Homes of Irish Writers, was published by Anvil Press in 1980. She later edited three collections of Irish short stories.
Former editor of The Irish Times Conor Brady said Ms Walsh was "one of the brightest, most creative and most energised of the many journalists" he had worked with in the newspaper.
