Mon 03 Mar 2010Tribute paid to Dublin character
A TRIBUTE to well-known Dublin figure Mary Margaret Dunne, organised through the social networking site Facebook, was held at the Spire on O’Connell Street yesterday.
The campaign to honour Ms Dunne, who sang danced and preached the gospel in the city centre for more than 30 years, attracted more than 15,000 members on Facebook. However, fewer than 60 people turned up to the event despite the draw of a performance from Dubliners member Eamonn Campbell.
