Bernie Malone

Bernie Malone was born in County Dublin on 26 March 1948, the same soil that later carried her into Dublin County Council and the European Parliament. She rose through Malahide wards and Fingal halls, chairing the county in the 1980s before representing Dublin in Strasbourg from 1994 to 1999. Her path crossed party friction, legal training at University College Dublin, and the quiet certainty of a woman who treated public life as a craft rather than a performance.
