Dara Quigley
The brightest mind in journalism, a woman who overcame the most harrowing abuses both mental and physical, kicking her way through a realm of addictions that have beaten the strongest men. Her voice was strident, powerful, her writing a vehicle for change both at home and abroad. A warm and funny individual with a few close friends and a great many admirers, her reputation grew at such an alraming rate that she soon became a threat to national security. Bullied, derided, harrassed, humiliated and denigrated. Dead in her mid-thirties, publicly humiliated by police and public alike after a video of her arrest was captured in the CCTV room of Garda HQ in Dublin and shared on social media. Found in a lake, her apparent suicide blamed on cannabis psychosis. No answers given for the abuses she suffered at the hands of law and family alike.
12 April 2017. The world changed and will never be the same without you, in a worse way.
We remember you. A natural diamond.
