Mabel will repose in Stafford's Funeral home, Ballyfermot this Tuesday between 4pm and 6pm.

Her funeral mass will take place on Wednesday morning at 11.30 in St Matthew's Church in Ballyfermot, followed by her burial in Palmerstown Cemetery.

Mabel's family have asked those attending to follow official HSE advice regarding facemasks.

Her family notice on RIP.ie this morning describes her as the "beloved wife” to the late Jimmy, and a “cherished mother” of James, Joseph, Peter, Brendan and Pauline, predeceased by her youngest son Aidan who sadly passed away at just 25 after an accident in 1991 wherein his van careered under a truck.

Duffy, who is one of RTÉ's highest-earning stars, previously credited his mother for ensuring he stays “grounded.” 

“My mother Mabel says to me: ‘You’re never as good as they say you are, just as you’re never as bad as they say you are either.'”
