The Detective Garda killed in a bank holiday weekend boat fire in Carrick-On-Shannon will be laid to rest today.
Deirdre ‘Dee’ Finn, who was in her early 50s, died following the blaze on Monday morning.
The experienced and respected crime investigator followed her father Pat into a career in An Garda Siochana.
As well as her work attached to the Dún Laoghaire Garda district, Det Finn was a well-known official in the Garda Representative Association, representing other rank and file Gardaí from her division in southeast Dublin for around 20 years.
Det Finn was an experienced member of the boating community and had taken part in the Shannon Boat Rally just before her death.
She was a regular visitor to Leitrim, where she spent much of her recreation time boating.
Tributes have been paid this week to Det Finn with GRA President, Brendan O’Connor describing her as a bubbly character who always put people first.
Her funeral service is taking place at 12 noon today in St John the Evangelist Church, Ballinteer in Dublin, followed by burial in Kilmashogue Cemetery, Rathfarnham.
The incident is not being treated as suspicious.
