The family of an Irish woman who had fought a legal battle to have an Irish language message on her headstone in a UK cemetery finally had it put in place before St Patrick’s Day. On social media on Wednesday, the family said it was a “poignant end” to their campaign. “On this St Patrick’s Day sees mums headstone finally installed, today may mum finally rest in eternal peace,” read a tweet on the Message for Margaret account. A poignant end to our journey on this St Patrick’s Day sees mums headstone finally installed, today may mum finally rest in eternal peace. Ms Keane was senior figure with the Coventry GAA and received a President’s International Award at a Croke Park ceremony in 2017.
