Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Mrs Nuala Early, late of Drogheda, who recently passed away. Nula was a formidable lady and was well known across the north-east district and indeed far beyond for her role on social issues. Her grandmothe­r, Kate Grogan, nee Keegan, had originally come from the Stedalt and Tullog area of Stamullen and where there are members of this family laid to rest in the village graveyard. Nula`s father was Thomas Grogan, who had played an instrument­al role in the Irish War of Independen­ce and later on as a leading member Of the old Irish Republican Army during the 1930`s and 40`s. Following funeral mass at St. Peter`s Church in West Street Drogheda, Mrs Early was laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery Drogheda.
