I was greatly saddened to hear that Emma Mhic Mhathúna has died.
When I met her and her children in May, I was greatly struck by her poise and bravery, in the midst of what was a very difficult time for her, her family and friends.
On behalf of the people of Ireland, I send my condolences to her family, friends, the wider community in West Kerry, and to all those who have shared Ms. Mhic Mhathúna's journey as she battled the disease.
