Former Chairperson of DICE, the amazing Catherine Byrne, skillfully guiding us through the history and achievements of the DICE Project over the last two decades #dice20
I was honoured to work with Chuck Feeney in Atlantic Philanthropies. I saw at first hand the impact of his generosity in the fields of education, health and human rights. His support for deliberative democracy through “We the Citizens “ was a forerunner of Citizens Assemblies.
Katherine is a true professional, a great ‘hack’ who always gets the story and knows how to tell it to her readers. She has been a terrific colleague and friend for many years.
After 44 years in the Irish Independent, Katherine Donnelly, Education Editor, departs to a traditional ‘knock-down’. Katherine wasn’t just a respected colleague, she was a true friend to generations of reporters who passed through the Newsroom. Yes there were tears welling up.

The country has lost a consistent advocate for justice equality and all that is good in life. I have lost a true friend. Thank you Bride for a lifetime of selfless public service. Heartbreak for your beloved partner Peter, sister Mary, brother Michael, Mary Robinson and friends.
