Here's to you Mary Bourke

Listen to Mary on her trip to Gaza at the weekend with a delegation of the Elders where she talks about the terrible conditions,. Palestine photos to come soon.




Just love these photos of Mary from Life Magazine. She is the most inspiring woman ever. She was never afraid to snap for what she believed in, against the cronies and always stuck up for the minorities and forgotten groups. She was born the same year as my mother and got married the year after her. When she did marry in 1970, her parents did not attend the wedding because she was marrying a Protestant. It didn't stop her though from going far.
Ireland's Greatest is being televised at the moment on Rté 1. Mary Robinson is up there with the winning. And I really hope she does
