Fiona Scott, a tribute

Fiona Scott MPRII, passed away all to prematurely this week from cancer. She was a client and a friend, too young to be taken from our industry and her loving family. Anyone who knew Fiona liked and respected her. She was smart, caring, courageous and beautiful and one of the finest communications professionals I have ever worked with. Fiona was Tourism Ireland’s Communications Manager up to last year and before that had spent several years in the tourism industry. I know her colleagues are hurting. To her husband Muiris and daughter Isobel we can only say we miss her too and wish to support them in the future.

Last night over 500 people from across the island gathered in Donnybrook to say goodbye to Fiona. We witnessed an amazing tribute from Muiris whose love and dedication for this fantastic woman was evident to all. Paul O’Toole, Tourism Ireland’s Chief Executive and Fiona’s boss until recently also paid tribute to her. “Fiona was a fashion queen, a style icon and the best of best” said Paul who spoke for us all.

 May she rest in peace.
