Roseanna said: "Saoirse gave love freely and she continues to guide me every single day. One of the things I've come to hold most sacred on this journey is time. "I want to say this to you all tonight, time is so important, we are all running the rat race. "Time is something to be grateful for, time allows us to make precious memories, time allows us to reflect and grow, and time allows us all to make a difference. But time is also something that Saoirse ran out of and that truth is something that I carry every day. It's why I wake up every morning and practice gratitude, even on the hardest days."

Roseanna Ruane announces makeup collaboration in daughter's honour for charity
Roseanna Ruane has announced that she'll be part of a collaboration with BPerfect cosmetics in her daughter Saoírse's honour. Saoírse won the hearts of the nation in 2020 when she appeared on the Late Late Toy Show, with her appearance on the show, where she spoke to Ryan Tubridy about losing her leg to cancer, inspiring the Toy Show Appeal and raising millions for charity. While Saoírse passed away in March 2024, aged 12, her legacy has continued long after her passing — with her mum Roseanna saying that BePerfect cosmetics will be collaborating with her, with all of the proceeds from the sales of the makeup range being donated to two charities. Roseanna Ruane with her daughter Saoírse. Pic: Instagram 'We are so proud to reveal the Saoírse and Mamma Collection – created in memory of the beautiful Saoírse Ruane. 'Saoírse inspired the nation with her strength, her smile, and her unforgettable spirit. This collection is a tribute to her light – filled with the colours she would have loved and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her.' The range includes a face and eye palette, lipstick, lip liner and lip oil, with the cosmetics company confirming that they will be donating 100% of the proceeds to Hand in Hand, a children's cancer charity in Galway, and the Cancer Fund for Children, 'to support families on their difficult journeys.'

Pic: Brian McEvoy The collaboration comes as Roseanna recently spoke about how she found out her daughter's time was 'limited' and that there was no more that could be done in her cancer battle. Speaking to Ryan Tubridy, whose first encounter with Saoírse and Roseanna inspired the Toy Show Appeal, Roseanna said that the family still weren't ready to speak about the full weight of Saoírse's loss, but revealed that a CT scan in April 2023 was when they found out the news no parent wants to hear.

'We thought no more of it, we thought it was going to be another good review, but it wasn't.' 'We got the CT scans before we ever left Dublin. We were just called into a room and you know it's that look between the doctor and you in the corridor and the beckoning, I just knew.

Pic: Brian McEvoy ''We were told that day that there was no more they could do — they could keep throwing chemo at her; they could keep having surgeries and surgeries but… She had started initially with the cancer in the tibia in her leg and then she got cancer in her leg and this was a relapse… it just kept coming,' Roseanna shared.

That's the day we started grieving the life that we knew was ahead.'

Kasey Campion hits out at driving tests following M50 scare
An Irish influencer has hit out at the Irish driving test system after she was close to having a 'heart attack' following a scary experience on the M50. Kasey Campion had been on the M50 driving to work when the tyre of her car burst and she was forced to pull in on the busy motorway. The incident happened at approximately 9.30pm with the podcaster later admitting she hadn't known how to deal with the terrifying situation. Kasey Campion had been on the M50 driving to work when the tyre of her car burst and she was forced to pull in on the busy motorway. Pic: Instagram Taking to TikTok from the side of the M50, Kasey said: 'Guys it would only be me to make a TikTok in this position but my car, the tyre is burst, I'm on the side of the M50. 'I've to be in work in half an hour and I'm actually sh****ng myself, what do I do right now? I'm on the side of the M50, lads, I'm actually going to have a heart attack.' Kasey reiterated her questions as she revealed her father had told her to get behind the crash barriers. @kaseycampion20 guys im safe now typing this from a Garda car but my life honestly flashed before my eyes #help #crash #notokay #flat ♬ All My Friends – Dermot Kennedy The young woman followed up with a clip from the safety of a Garda car before sharing a clip of her car on a tow-truck. Kasey met her father at the Ballymun exit of the m50 where the pair waited for an emergency tyre fitter to arrive and change the tyre, costing '220 of her hard-earned euros.' 'I am not taking this €220 sitting down,' Kasey hit out, holding up a bottle of BPerfect's Chroma Cover, which she revealed she was linking in the video. @kaseycampion20 I wish I was joking @BPerfect Ireland #help #sellout #flattyre #saveme ♬ original sound – Kasey Campion 'The Chroma Cover is going to cover my tyre puncture!' Kasey insisted, with her father hilariously adding: 'Also, it will cover your face and make you look really good — you probably look good anyway.' The father and daughter duo added that they needed to see '120 units' in order for Kasey to cover the cost of her tyre. Later sharing further details about what happened, Kasey admitted she hadn't been aware that she could drive the car 'for a bit' with a flat tyre, admitting she should've found somewhere safer. 'A lot of people are saying on my video, 'Why didn't you just change the tyre yourself?' First of all; I'm just a girl. Second of all, I'm on the M50 — there's not even a hard shoulder and third of all, I wouldn't have been able to change a tyre,' she said. 'If someone crashed into me I would've been a goner,' she added, 'Wasn't able to go to work. 'The bottom line is driving test is a load of rubbish because I did it five times and I didn't know what to do when my tyre burst on the M50.'
