Below is an interview in Listowel with Máire Mhac an tSaoi, who died last month.
The young Máire Mhac an tSaoi was an Irish diplomat in Spain, where she was considered almost as a non-person by the Franco government.
Immediately after the war she studied in Paris, where it was a moment of excitement in her hostel when the first eggs arrived.
She had three uncles priests, including the Dominican Michael Cardinal Browne, who was Master of the Order between 1955 and 1962,
Her husband, Conor Cruise O’Brien predeceased her. The two met when they were both working as Irish diplomats.
Her father was Seán MacEntee, a Fianna Fáil government minister.
