There is huge sadness in West Donegal, after the passing of Ann Ní Mhaoinigh.
Ann was well known in Irish traditional music circles as a brilliantly talented singer and musician.
She was also the sister of Altan member Mairéad Ní Mhaoinigh.
Ann had been battling cancer since 2020, and in 2022 had a fundraiser to support her battle reach €95,000, as she sought treatments in Mexico and elsewhere.
