Margo O’Donnell may be ‘Donegal’ to the core but, in many ways, she is every county on the island of Ireland. There is not a parish from Rathlin island, off the Antrim coast, down to the Beara Peninsula, in Cork and Kerry, where she is not known and respected and where she would be a welcome caller to many doors. The girl from Donegal enjoys a status on the country and Irish scene that reaches far beyond the recognition stakes. She resides in the hearts of so many people, a privilege she has shared with the ultimate legend of them all, the late great Big Tom McBride. Perhaps it is no wonder that Margo made her home in Castleblayney over two decades ago.
