Marie Comerford irish republican Marie Comerford will undoubtedly be remembered as a woman with an unquenchable thirst for the cause of Irish freedom and as a chronicler of the important events of Ireland's struggle for independence. But there was another side of Marie's character that the general public was unaware of and that was her generosity and hospitality. I often visited her at her home in Sandyford, where she held court as the grand old lady of Irish Republicanism, and where she made her vast and valuable archive available for research. Her home was crammed with mementos of Ireland's troubled past. Marie engrossed her listeners with stories of stirring episodes that she had been involved in.
