Eamon Dunphy described Vicky Phelan as the most incredible person he ever met as he paid tribute to the cervical cancer campaigner on RTE's Late Late Show on Friday night.
The veteran broadcaster joined Ryan Tubridy to discuss the upcoming World Cup, but gave Vicky a special mention as he commended her bravery and determination days after her death.
He said: "I interviewed Vicky and she was the most incredible person I ever met. She was brave, she was clever, she was highly intelligent, she was determined, she researched her own condition, she prolonged her life and she never stopped fighting for other women and other families.
