It's fifty years today, January 27th 2025, since the death of Mother Mary Martin, foundress of the Medical Missionaries of Mary, a dynamo of a woman, who achieved so much in her lifetime and whose legacy endures here in Ireland and around the world. To mark this special anniversary, Mother Mary is once more honoured with the unveiling of her new statue at Boyle O'Reilly in Drogheda, adjacent to the wonderful hospital she founded all those years ago. And to mark the occasion, we republish a documentary, written and produced by Gerry Kelly and first aired a decade ago in 2015, about the life of one of Ireland's truly great daughters.
