What is recorded here
Máire Geoghegan-Quinn is a birthplace in Carna, County Galway, Ireland. Perhaps the girl who became an Irish politician first heard the Atlantic roar through a wooden wall on September 5, 1950. Maybe that loud, salt-heavy darkness shaped her before any lecture hall or vote ever touched her life.
