A Book of Condolences is opening at the offices of Galway County Council in Áras an Chontae in memory of Dolores Keane.
The famed folk singer from Caherlistrane passed away earlier this week at the age of 72.
The Book of Condolences will be open for people to sign from midday on Wednesday.
The Cathaoirleach of Galway County Council, Councillor David Collins, will open the book, which will be available for signing during normal office hours in the coming days.
Paying tribute, Councillor Collins said, “Dolores made a major contribution to the development and international reach of Irish music.”
“She had one of the most distinctive and respected voices and brought the music and spirit of County Galway to audiences around the world.”
He added, “Her ability to blend traditional sean-nós influences with contemporary folk styles has influenced countless other musicians and will continue to draw new listeners for generations to come.”
“On behalf of Galway County Council and the people of County Galway, I extend our deepest sympathies to her family, friends and all who admired her music,” he said.
