The funeral of journalist Mary Raftery has taken place in Dublin.

The 54-year-old who was behind documentaries such as 'States of Fear' and the 'Prime Time Investigates: Cardinal Secrets', passed away on Monday.

A large crowd attended the humanist service at the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham, including representatives for President Higgins and the Taoiseach and a number of abuse survivors.

Mary's husband David Waddell paid tribute to her, saying she wanted to be a "voice for the voiceless" and for those who needed support in pursuit of justice.
