It is with profound sadness that RTE has learned of the sudden death of broadcaster Gerry Ryan.
There will be a tribute to Gerry tomorrow (Saturday) on 2fm between 10AM and 12PM.
There is a book of condolences open for members of the public to pay their respect in the reception of Radio Centre in RTE, Donnybrook.
The book is open to sign between 12PM-6PM Saturday and 12PM-6PM Sunday.
The thoughts and prayers of all RTE staff are with Gerry's family and his friends.
RTE has been asked by Gerry Ryan's family to say:
"Gerry Ryan died today. Moira and his children are in complete shock. Please respect their privacy at this time."
