The funeral of author and former Irish Timescolumnist Nuala O'Faolain is to take place on Tuesday.
Nuala O'Faolain revealed in a radio interview that she had been diagnosed with metastatic cancer
Ms O'Faolain died at the Blackrock Hospice on Friday night. She was aged 68.
In April, the author revealed in a radio interview with Marian Finucane that she had been diagnosed with metastatic cancer.
In the interview she described how, although diagnosed only six weeks previously, lung cancer had spread to her brain and liver.
Ms O'Faolain also admitted that she had turned down the option of chemotherapy.
In the interview on the Marian Finucane Show, she said: "I was supposed to start chemotherapy. I was supposed to start 18 weeks of it, six sessions of it. After three sessions they would know if it was working.
"But ... it reduced me to such feelings of impotence and wretchedness and sourness with life... and fear, that I decided against it."
Educated at University College Dublin, University of Hull and Oxford University, Ms O'Faolain worked as a television producer and journalist before writing the international bestseller,
Are You Somebody?, in 1996 and followed it with three more books.
The removal will take place tomorrow to the Church of the Visitation, Fairview arriving at 5.30 o'clock.
Ms O'Faolain's funeral will be held the following day after midday mass to Glasnevin Crematorium.
