Former adviser’s skill as a strategist and advocate came from her understanding of people, President Mary Robinson tells mourners
Ms Robinson was one of three people who shared reflections on Ms Rosney, who died at the age of 74 on September 22nd. The chief mourners were her partner Peter MacMenamin, her sister Mary, her brother Michael and her extended family.
“We began as colleagues who failed to stop the disruption of the Viking settlement at Wood Quay in Dublin [in the early 1970s]. Many of you will recall how the Reverend Professor FX Martin was out in front, a very good advocate. But Bride was secretary of Friends of Medieval Dublin. She was the organiser. She organised the marches.
“So many here and elsewhere will record her as their rock, their mentor and in many ways their inspiration. She was also my rock for the last 30 years,” he said. “Bride worked tirelessly to ensure that boundaries were removed, opportunities were made equitable and that women’s voices were not just heard but listened to … She shattered glass ceilings and she opened doors for women.”
