Gerard Craughwell (Independent) | Oireachtas source

It is a great pleasure to be here to think about Mary Jackman with her family. Many is the good joust we had in Monaleen back in the days before I became enlightened and became an Independent by leaving Fine Gael. She was an incredible woman, a great citizen of Castletroy, Monaleen and Limerick in general. She was a great teacher in her time. I am deeply sorry that we lost her. She was a great woman in a political battle down in Limerick, God be with the days. May she rest in peace. My sympathies to all her family.
