I'm so sad to hear of the death of Jacqui Browne. I had the privilege to work with Jacqui during her time on the Disability Advisory Committee in IHREC. 1/3 irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…

We at the NDA express our condolences to the family and friends of Jacqui Browne, who sadly passed away earlier this week. Jacqui was a true trailblazer and a passionate advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. May she rest in peace.

All at CAR are sadden to hear of the death of our patient partner Jacqui Browne. Our thoughts are with her friends and family. irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…
