| Mary Lee Geary |
As chairperson of the Community Development Association in Broadford in 2005, Mary Lee Geary turned activist and led the community in opposition to a proposed mobile phone mast in the village.
It would have overlooked the site where the community had just secured planning permission for a crèche, social housing and after-school facilities.
The community marched and campaigned to oppose the mast for health reasons and because it would take away from the area’s scenic value.
Mary is currently chairperson of West Limerick Radio among other voluntary positions.
