Marian Finucane ties the knot with long-term partner

The presenter and her new husband have been together for 30 years.

RTÉ RADIO PRESENTER Marian Finucane today tied the knot with her long-term partner John Clarke.

The small ceremony took place at a registry office in Dublin, attended by close family and friends of the couple.

They had two children together – their son Jack and their daughter Sinead who sadly died of leukaemia when she was just eight years old.

As expected, everyone was delighted for them today and there was an outpouring of congratulations for the newly-weds:
