Judy Greene who passed away on Sunday after a long battle with cancer was an extraordinary person, and someone I am incredibly proud to have called a friend for over forty years.

She was a wife, a mother and grandmother certainly, but Judy also was a business woman, an entrepreneur, and uniquely, Judy Greene was a brand!

There are very few people whom I know that arrived into Galway in 1982 with little more than a carry-on bag, and yet within a few short years, her name had become synonymous with Galway city’s success.
