A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years he served as an Irish Senator for two terms. Mairéad Ashe FitzGerald grew up in County Clare. She was a graduate of NUI Galway and University College Dublin where she studied Archaeology. Mairéad taught Irish and History before working in publishing for many years.
