"Another is Kathleen's stellar achievement in marshalling & growing a group of 15 supporters on St Colman's NS Parents Council to raise nigh on €100,000 for a much-needed pitch facility, with a superstar event that took place on the very eve of Covid's arrival in Ireland.
"Kathleen is always there, and ready to be useful – in the background and never seeking a moment's praise or thanks. Kathleen's singular gift is seeing what people are good at, asking them to do it and always finding out what support they need to succeed at their task.
"When Stradbally Tidy Towns needed Kathleen's know-how and support in getting a fundraising drive together, as well as approaching volunteers to safely mount €22,000 worth of festive lighting and safety cables - Kathleen was there to help.
