This year the Women's Centre is celebrating 25 years working with women in Waterford with a number of events from the 3rd-8th March. One of the events is the dedication of a Civic Trust Blue Plaque to the Daly family who provided a café for homeless men at number 5 Arundel Lane from 1911 - 1982. When attempts to evict the sisters Mai and Debbie were made in 1971 the Waterford community came out to support and stop the eviction of the sisters. Mary was joined in studio by Breda Murphy of the Waterford Women's Centre, Breda Freyne, a neice of the Daly Sisters, and Eleanor Murphy of The Women's Centre History Project.
