Meanwhile, tributes to the journalist and broadcaster were led by President Michael D Higgins.
President Higgins said that Mr Davin-Power was a “consummate broadcaster and communicator” who was a “regular presence in lives of so many people” over the airwaves or on television.
“David provided decades of incisive analysis across his roles in RTÉ in particular and was a trusted voice whether reporting on Northern Ireland or on the business of the Oireachtas.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, his colleagues in the media, across the Oireachtas and by the public who were so informed by his work.”
