Brigid has strong county Longford roots as her late father was Cllr Joseph Ross, a former Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council and Cllr Paul Ross, a current member of Longford County Council is her nephew.
Brigid’s father was involved in the national library programme and in particular the Longford Westmeath County library committee.
The painting was donated to Edgeworthstown Library to mark Brigid’s retirement from the CIAS National Council and in recognition of her outstanding contribution to supporting the arts in Ireland.
