'She was proud of where she came from'Homily by Father Patrick Murphy, Administrator of Saint Mary’s Parish, Athlone, this morning at the Funeral Mass for Mary O'Rourke at Our Lady's Queen of Peace Church, Coosan, this morning. Mary Lenihan was born in Athlone and she was proud of where she came from. She grew up in a family steeped in politics, a family that had a high regard for public service. Her political achievements have been well documented and her commitment to public service is well known throughout the country. Mary’s contribution to public life has been enormous.
