that post office was a bit crazy….. people used to just shout out their pps numbers to get paid!!
I wonder was her death notice first announced on a beer mat?
Just because she held batshit crazy views doesn’t mean she wasn’t respected. It just means she was widely respected by the batshit crazy.
Not going to invoke Godwin here, but you can see where the point could go to…
“widely respected”
“Well known and widely respected” ….by whom exactly?
Other wierdo super right wing religious people who don’t mind children living in incestuous homes?
+1
I feel ill now.
I dont get this, can anyone enlighten me
There’s this thing called Google….try using it.
Theres this thing called politeness – try using it
Ignorance of current events is no excuse in this day and age. So, no ta on the politeness front. This isn’t a search engine.
Racist. The proper term is “Native American tracker”.
She appears to have been a not very nice lady who besides running a post office. Oh also she was a far right anti-abortion campaigner.
@ Shaymo – Mena Bean Uí Chribin is believed to be involved on the fringes of the organisation(Coir). The name of this post mistress cropped up during the infamous Roscommon incest case. When it emerged that she lobbied social workers asking that the children in the case be left with their mother.
Oh she did more than just lobby
Mean I Crubeen funded the parents legal costs when they sought injunctions stopping the social workers from removing the children
Have you got a decent source there Keano? All I can find are hints with little substance. And references to the Gards and a Mrs. B.
Nah. Just my memory. But she was photographed at the time the parents got their first injunction. So Irish Times / Indo photo archives, maybe even some Tabloids.
Did ya find anything about the school in Ballymun being evicted?
I quite liked the gritty historical feel of this story – (you have to scroll down a page) http://politico.ie/home/3117
‘Well-known and widely respected’ as a postmistress in Santry Lane!
Of course he is outraged, his wife lost her job when it closed.
(Have a look at the far right column)
i wonder how she got that job…
not that id be insinuating anything
‘far right’ you say…. hmmmmmm :/
lol
rofl!
they didn’t want the post office getting into anyone else’s hands becasue then all the children under the stairs might be be found.
Gearóid is also spelled incorrectly.
I wonder is she somewhere looking up at us all and still spouting latin from the tridentine faith.
What’s this “tridentine faith” that you speak of?
No. She’s dead, silly.
f**k democracy! I’d be too….. well I would if I was reared in an autocratic world that did not bend its way of thinking to mine…. or me bat-$hit crazy Ma’s.
Geaoid O Cribin – what a great name!
There’s an RTE radio documentary (Documentary on One
“Míne Bean Uí Chribín – My Granny”) about her that’s worth listening to. While she had very strongly held (and voiced) views that most would view as quite extremist (& quite objectionable to my own way of thinking incidentially), it’s worth listening to the the programme as it paints quite a different picture of the woman. – here’s part of the descriptions -
she reportedly provided ” free grinds for those sitting state exams, providing a place at the table to anyone who called, particularly the homeless and children.
Much of her work was for those she, supposedly had no time for: unmarried mothers and divorced people.
Mostly, she brought her knowledge of the public service and legal process to help those faced with resistant officialdom. ”
The programme makes it clear that her involment in the Roscommon incest case was not quite as it is being reported here and something she apparently greatly regretted.
The world is more often shades of grey than black and white I find…thankfully.

Aha – the School gets a mention in this short and less than sweet bio
