Statement from Taoiseach Micheál Martin on the passing of Sr Stanislaus Kennedy

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Sr Stanislaus Kennedy - a passionate advocate for helping those in need.

In 1985, she founded Focus Point, now known as Focus Ireland, to support those experiencing homelessness.

I met her many times over the years and always admired her tireless advocacy and her ability to inform policy. She had great energy.

She was a true Christian who dedicated her life to helping those on the margins.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sr Stan’s family and friends at this time.
