Donna Ferguson RIP


Ógra Shinn Féin extends our sympathy to the family and friends of our comrade Donna Ferguson, who died on Tuesday.

It was with shock and deep sadness that activists in the west learned of the tragic death of Donna in a road accident in Fermanagh.

Donna was a bright, ethusiastic and motivated young woman, and all who came in contact with her were charmed and impressed. A woman in the middle of everything, she played with the Erne Gaels and Fermanagh inter-county football teams, she broadcast on both radio and televison, and was an up and coming young journalist, writing for local and national media, and editing a Galway based student magazine.

Donna was a committed Republican and was a member of the D'Arcy / Hurson Cumann in NUI, Galway. She was a strong, independent and informed woman whose dedication and world-view was an inspiration to all who met her.

She will be missed by her comrades in Ógra Shinn Féin and the Republican family in Galway.

Our family met Donna in Sydney and my daughter was going to visit her friend in December. The awful news left her friends here Sydney grieving. We just pray for comfort for her family and we want you to know that we were very fond of her.
