Last night RTÉ paid tribute to the late Dolores O’Riordan with a new documentary called Dolores.
The 40-minute programme, produced by radio DJ Dave Fanning, traced the life and times of the Cranberries frontwoman and contained never before seen interviews, promo videos, and live footage.
There were interviews with her former band members, who chatted about the time she showed up to the audition in a tracksuit with a keyboard under her arm, as well as in-depth chats with Fanning about her struggles with mental health.

Viewers were glued to the footage and took to social media praising the programme.
Not only does #Dolores reiterate how truly talented she was as a singer and songwriter ,but also how much she trusted @fanningrte to disclose all she did.

RIP #Dolores O'Riordan 🕯⭐ What a talent, but WTF @rte - jumping on the bandwagon (no pun intended) rehashing a nearly 20 year old interview looking for ratings. Bad form. 🎼 🎤

In case you missed it, you can catch Dolores on RTÉ’s online player.
An inquest into the death of O’Riordan has been adjourned until April.
