I trained in nursing with Briege in the Galway Regional Hospital (as it was then known) in the late 1970’s & then later to Doncaster for midwifery. She was a great friend and had a gift for communicating with others, a marvelous sense of fun and our social life was hectic! I am very sorry to hear she passed away. Condolences to Paul, and to the Loughrey men, her nephews, whose Mam Maura I knew well also. God rest them both.
