Soon, Michaels's future wife and mother to their six children would accept a job as a newly qualified pharmacist and sure as they say the rest is history. The Moores family have served the parish of Donore and the Liberties for nearly 70 years.

YUP THE FLATS PODCAST EPISODE 6 RITA FAGAN

Rita Fagan is a proud Liberties woman and is the daughter of Madge Fagan, so community activism runs through her veins. She went to the sewing factory at 14. During the 14 years there she became active in the Trade Union Movement. She spent 11 years voluntary and 1 full-time in the Dublin Simon Community. From here she was sponsored by good people to partake in the Community & Youth work course at NUI Maynooth. On a placement from this course, Rita came to St. Michaels Estate. 25 years later she is still in this struggle with this grassroots community and is the director of the Family Resource Centre, Women’s Community Development Project. She has travelled widely and has been involved politically in the issues affecting Central America and Cuba. For 9 years she led a protest outside of the U.S. Embassy challenging U.S. foreign policy in the said region. She is also committed to the struggle of women at the grassroots level who are very much on the margins and whose struggle on a daily basis is to survive structural poverty, last but by no means least she believes, that the struggle for justice and freedom not only embodies pain but also joy through celebrating our lives and the outcome of the struggle. Like her mother Madge, Rita has fought and campaigned to make the lives of those in her community and other working-class areas better.
