President tunes in to wish Finucane well

PRESIDENT Mary McAleese contacted the Marian Finucane Show yesterday to pay tribute to the presenter on the last broadcast of her morning show.

Ms Finucane made her last weekday broadcast from Galway yesterday, and was presented afterwards with an honorary law degree from the city’s university.

Ms McAleese said she fully deserved the accolade. “You are a broadcaster with empathy rather than attitude,” she said.
