Tributes are pouring in for well-known Galway activist Margaretta D'Arcy who's being remembered as a life-long peace devotee who "never threw a stone in her life".
The well known activist, playwright, artist and writer from Woodquay passed away at the age of 91 yesterday.
Despite her advanced years and health issues, Margaretta continued to regularly attend protests and demonstrations on a wide range of social and international issues.
She also ran in the local elections last year in Galway City Central, and more recently campaigned for President Catherine Connolly.
In 2014, Margaretta served time in prison after protesting on a runway at Shannon Airport, over its use by the US Military.
Speaking to Galway Talks, film-maker Leila Doolan said Margaretta was one of a kind.
