Tributes are being paid to the late Úna Uí Rócháin, a pioneer of the Irish language in Clare.

The Miltown Malbay native was the wife of Muiris Ó Rócháin, a founder of the Willie Clancy Summer School, and a long-time teacher and lecturer of Gaeilge.

As well as establishing a Gaelscoil in Moy, near her hometown, Úna lectured in Mary Immaculate College in Limerick.
