The members of the Hugh O'Flaherty Society say they are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of their friend and patron, Veronica Dunne.
The society says Veronica was a dear friend of Monsignor Hugh, having become acquainted with him in 1946 when she travelled to Rome for classical voice training at the age of 18.
When the Hugh O'Flaherty Memorial Society was officially launched in Killarney in the Spring of 2008, Veronica travelled down from Dublin, and she generously made a substantial donation towards the memorial fund, and became its first patron.
Spokesperson Jerry O'Grady says Veronica will be greatly missed by lovers of classic music around the world and by her many friends in the Hugh O'Flaherty Memorial Society.
