We extend our sincere condolences to family and friends of Nell Mc Cafferty. She was one-of-kind; an award-winning journalist, playwright, civil rights campaigner and feminist whose powerful voice was an advocate for the marginalised and victims of justice. R.I.P Nell

Today, we say goodbye to Nell McCafferty-a fierce advocate for women's rights & social justice. Nell was more than just a writer; she was a longtime friend of Kennys (pictured here in the 80s). We’ll miss her wit, her fire & her unforgettable spirit. Rest in peace, in power Nell.
