ICA news: Breeda sings the praises of Knocklofty’s energetic guild

Breeda Hennessy, South Tipperary Federation PRO, has been an ICA member since she was 17 and that’s well over 50 years ago now.

“I joined in Ballymacarbery, a quiet village in Co Waterford. I worked in the local post office and I was encouraged to join by my boss, the late Mrs Kearney. I became guild treasurer – the minute you joined you became an officer.”

Breeda’s work as a civil servant took her to counties Kilkenny, Kerry and Clare and wherever she went she joined the local ICA guild. Now, she’s a member of Knocklofty Guild in the Clonmel area.
