Over €2 million was raised by RTE Late Late Show viewers on Friday night after a special episode of the talk show.
The show opened with a special video production and speech from Ryan Tubridy which saw harrowing footage and photographs of children fleeing as missiles rained down upon Ukrainian cities.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin labelled Vladimir Putin an 'evil man' while speaking to Ryan, and also urged the Irish public to donate to the Irish Red Cross appeal for the war-torn country.
