The Hour for Cara

Whether you were a colleague, a friend or a fan, Cara O Sullivan left an indelible mark on all our lives and our hearts. Her death this week was such a deep sadness for many around the world, but nowhere more than her beloved Cork. Tributes have been paid to her all week and we couldn't let today pass without marking her wonderful connections. Cara was a guest on the show countless times over the years and listening back to her interviews is bittersweet. We will remember them another time. Our deepest sympathies to her daughter Christine and all her family.
