Barnardos children’s charity would like to offer their condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Norah Gibbons, who died yesterday evening.
Barnardos CEO Suzanne Connolly said: “We are deeply saddened by the death of former Barnardos colleague and good friend Norah Gibbons. Norah worked tirelessly for the rights of children for her entire career, and my colleagues and I were lucky to work with her. She joined Barnardos during the 1990s as a social worker and progressed to a senior management role with key responsibility for Children’s Services. Norah served as Director of Advocacy for Barnardos from 2005 to 2012.
“Her energy, commitment, and passion for the rights of children in Ireland changed many children’s lives for the better, and she will be remembered by many. We offer our sincere condolences to her family and many friends.”
