Mother of Toy Show's Saoírse to hold inspiring event in Kildare
Saoirse and Roseanna
ROSEANNA Ruane, beloved mother of the late Toy Show star Saoírse Ruane, will be joined by well-known influencer and entrepreneur Rachel Gorry for a powerful and uplifting event in Kildare.
Titled "An Evening with Roseanna Ruane”, the event takes place on Saturday 31 May in the Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth.
The evening will offer a heartfelt space for reflection, resilience, and healing through grief.
The event is a tribute to Saoírse and a platform to open conversations around navigating loss, finding light in dark places, and living with intention. Roseanna, who touched the hearts of the nation throughout Saoírse’s journey, will share her story with honesty and hope, encouraging others to find strength in their own lives.
“I wanted to create an evening where people feel seen in their sadness, supported in their grief, and gently reminded that hope still exists,” saidRoseanna Ruane. “This event is not just about loss—it’s about life, legacy, and how we carry the people we love with us always.” The evening will also feature guest speakers who have walked their own paths of hardship and healing, with newly announced Rachel Gorry joining Roseanna on stage.
Rachel Gorry, one of Ireland’s most recognisable social media voices, lost her husband Daniel to cancer in 2020. Since then, she has become a symbol of strength and authenticity for many, openly documenting her journey through grief and rebuilding. Rachel is also a successful entrepreneur, having launched the fashion brand ALINED, and recently shared the joyful news that she is expecting twins with her partner Adrien Kieran.
The event begins at 7pm and tickets are available now via Eventbrite or can be purchased directly from the Glenroyal Hotel.
