President Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to Bride Rosney, the special adviser to former president Mary Robinson, who has died at the age of 74.
Ms Rosney worked as special adviser to Mary Robinson between 1990 and 1998, a period which included Ms Robinson's historic election as Ireland's first female president and her role as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
"Our partnership began when we opposed the construction of civic offices at Wood Quay in 1978 and continued for over four decades. Between 2001 and 2009, Ms Rosney also worked as director for communications for RTÉ, before later becoming secretary to the board of trustees of the Mary Robinson Foundation.
"Bride made an immense contribution to progressive change in Irish society through her work with Mary Robinson which helped re-define the presidency. "As Special Advisor to Mary Robinson during her time as President of Ireland and as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Bride was at the forefront of a rapidly changing Ireland."
