Did Mary O' Rourke grow up in a FG household?

[NapperTandy]

I remember watching Vincent Browne a few months ago, and Mary O' Rourke was on talking about Bertie etc. She mentioned the fact that she grew up in a FF household?? I was under the impression that Mary O' Rourke's father was previously a member of FG, and only joined FF in the early 1960s. Would someone be able to clarify this, it is something that has stuck in my memory since that programme

The only thing stuck in my memory about Mary was her being in the bath and on morning ireland at the same time(or something like that).

Not something that thrills me I have to say!!!

Incidentally, Mary O'Rourke came from a staunch Zanu FF Family. Her Father was Paddy Lenihan - No Fine Gael there I can assure you......

I'm waiting for the day her nephew Brian does an interview in a hairshirt!

After all he expects the rest of us to wear one....

Her mother's family were certainly not FG. When six Republicans were shot and bayoneted to death on Ben Bulben in Sligo during the Civil War by Free State troops under General McEoin (including the great-uncle of Michael McDowell/Eoin McNeill's brother, and the grandfather of Sligo TD Jimmy Devins), some of the bodies were taken down to her mother's house to be tended to. O'Rourke attends the commemoration of the killings on Ben Bulben now and again.
