Sending you strength and prayers to get through this difficult time

Best wishes, Susan and family, Athenry (Minaun)

To Rory, Brendan and family. Sincere sympathies on the loss of Rita. I was privileged to meet her at the Maire Comerford Book Launch in Sandyford in March 2022.

Hope you can take comfort from the happy memories of her and celebrate a life well lived.

Sorry to hear Bren but as always she gave it the good fight from start to finish brave and courageous to the last in everything she done may we all have learned lessons from rita

Deepest sympathy to Frances and all Rita's family on her passing. May she Rest in Peace.

Words cannot express my sadness of Rita’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. She was a great woman. May she rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Rita's family and comrades. I met Rita many years ago at #44 when she was editor of An Poblacht and met her so many times afterwards throughout the years. She was a true Irish Republican Woman who will be sorely missed. May she Rest in Eternal Peace with loved ones who passed before and comrades above.

What a loss! I first met Rita as a professional contact when I arrived at the US Embassy in Dublin in 1998. Over the years, as we worked toward full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, she became a valued friend to me and my entire family. She was as fierce an advocate for peace as there was, and her work on both sides of the Atlantic and on both sides of the aisle in Congress cannot be overestimated. At the same time, she was a loving mother and grandmother. I will miss Rita's spirit, dedication and wicked sense of humor greatly. Love and deepest sympathies to Brendan and the entire family.

My deepest sympathies to the family. Every time I met Rita at Hibernian events, she had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. Rest now in peace, good and loyal servant.

Condolences to all Rita's family.
On a life FULLY lived not for herself but for OTHERS!!!
