Maureen O’Hara’s on-screen legacy ‘will endure for many years to come’

Tributes to screen legend Maureen O’Hara, who died at the age of 95, were led by President Micheal D Higgins.

Mr Higgins, who is on an eight-day official visit to the US, said: “She will be remembered as an outstanding and versatile actress, whose work especially in film, will endure for many years to come.

“I especially remember with affection her recent visit to Áras an Uachtaráin (the presidential residence), when we discussed among other things her great love of Ireland and her strong family links to Shamrock Rovers.”
