Sincere sympathy to Sr Dolores’ family & to the Mercy Sisters. I didn’t know her personally but I had the privilege of meeting her a few years ago when we had our farewell ceremony for the Mercy Sisters in Ballyhaunis. She taught in the Mercy Secondary school & played a major part in laying the groundwork that led to the amalgamation of the Vocational School, Mercy Secondary & St Patrick’s college to form Ballyhaunis Community School in 1978. As a community we wish to express our gratitude to Sr Dolores. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h’anam uasal dílis.
