Ireland’s ‘sick’ car insurance system: A scrape involving two drivers who know each other turns ‘nasty’ “Not to be cowed by anyone, Dad held his head high and, with the equally brave and fearless Geraldine Kennedy, took the State to court for invasion of privacy. They won and the case was the final undoing of Charles Haughey,” she said.In a eulogy, journalist Mary Kenny, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday, said she, Mavis and Bruce and their contemporaries were “born into an era which still bore all the hallmarks of the Victorian age”.

President Michael D Higgins was represented by his aide-de-camp, Col Stephen Howard. Among the large attendance were journalists Vincent Browne, Kevin Myers, Martina Devlin, David Murphy, Sheila Wayman and Philip Molloy, as well as biographer Charles Lysaght, Independent Dublin city councillor Mannix Flynn, Barbara Fitzgerald and Caroline Sweetman.
