Family Flowers Only by Grief Ireland15 Mars

Family Flowers Only with Joanna McNulty

This week I sit down with Joanna McNulty who shares the devastating and very recent loss of her father Joachim McNulty.

Joachim was a seasoned fisherman who knew the sea well but tragically lost his life when his car slid down the slipway at Belderrig Pier in Mayo and entered the water. The pier surface had become dangerously slippery due to moss and algae and he was unable to escape the vehicle.

Joanna joins me in the very acute early stages of grief to speak about what happened, the shock and devastation of losing her dad in such preventable circumstances, and the reality of navigating grief so soon after a tragedy.

Alongside sharing her father’s story Joanna is determined that no other family should experience the same loss. She is now advocating for proper maintenance and safety standards across Ireland’s piers so that something like this cannot happen again.

This is an incredibly raw and powerful conversation about grief and also about the need for safety measures to be implimented immediately
