“It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of Emma Hannigan – a campaigner to the end.
Emma Hannigan leaves a lasting legacy not only through her work as a much appreciated author, but also through her exemplary courage in dealing with terminal illness.
She will be remembered as a powerful advocate for Breast Cancer Ireland, a great cause worthy of all of our support.
To her husband Cian, her son Sacha and daughter Kim, and to her wider family and circle of friends, Sabina and I send our deepest sympathies.”
