Catherine Shanahan Health Correspondent

Emma Mhic Mhathúna, whose ferocious courage, dedication to her children, and humour in the face of tragedy endeared her to a nation, will be honoured this weekend on the first anniversary of her death.

Today, her former husband, Cathal Mac Mathúna, will walk with their three sons — James, 13, Mario, 11, and Donnchadh, 4, — to Ballydavid Pier on the Dingle Peninsula at 3pm where they will place flowers in her memory.
