Clare County Council has opened an online Book of Condolence in memory of Edna O’Brien who passed away at the weekend.

Cathaoirleach of Clare County Council, Cllr Alan O’Callaghan, is inviting members of the public to sign the book and join people from all over Clare and Ireland in marking Edna’s legacy as “a novelist who skilfully centered women’s experiences in her writing, earning her plaudits as a literary genius and one of the most influential figures in Irish literature.”

“We are proud that Edna lived among us and drew on her experiences of growing up in rural East Clare, and that this shaped her perspective and influenced her writing,” added Cllr O’Callaghan.
