A woman of courage

IT was with great sadness I heard of the death of Mary Raftery — what a great loss to this world.

A woman who achieved so much for the many who had no voice. She was a woman with great moral courage who could have taken the easy option and ignored the victims of Church and State. Mary was a wonderful example of the courage and tenacity of investigative journalists, which is sadly lacking in many organisations. A fitting tribute to Mary’s memory would be for someone to continue her wonderful work.
