Longford Association in Dublin saddened by death of longstanding friend Bridie Maguire

To our sad regret we’ve learned of the death in London of Bridie Maguire, a longstanding friend of the Longford Association in Dublin and a lifetime member of the Longford Association in London; she was one or their Life Presidents.

A native of Mullinalaghta, Bridie trained as a nurse and eventually was a Matron at Homerton hospital in Hackney, where she raised a family of seven, one of whom predeceased her. Her husband was from Ballinamore, Co Leitrim, and died many years ago.

Bridie represented the London Association at the Dublin Association’s Dinner on many occasions and it was always lovely to meet her.
