Treasurer

Maire O Sullivan

Maire is a native of Blarney and mother to a beautiful autistic boy.

Maire is conscious that if an autistic person can't go somewhere then the whole family can't go; this is why Maire got involved with the committee and would like to make Blarney as inclusive as possible for autistic people.
