Irish folk singer Dolores Keane has passed away at the age of 72.
The popular musician died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Caherlistrane, Co Galway overnight.
She performed with De Dannan in the mid-1970s and recorded several albums with then husband John Faulkner, before embarking on a solo career.
In a statement, Minister for Culture Patrick O'Donovan says he is 'deeply saddened' by the passing of 'one of Ireland's most soulful and iconic voices.'
