Inniscarra, Ballincollig ICA guilds celebrate 80th anniversary

Not too many ICA guilds have a letter from the Queen of England in their archives.

Inniscarra/Ballincollig ICA have one dated 1952.

Guild president Cathie O’Neill explains that Church of Ireland women founded the guild in 1935. “When the queen’s father died, the guild sent a letter of sympathy to her. They congratulated her too on her coronation. A letter came back from St James Palace, thanking us.”
