It was with a great sadness that Thurles town learned of the death, yesterday Wednesday, July 19th 2022, of Dr. Vicky Conway, Douglas, Co. Cork and late of Co. Dublin.
Pre-deceased by her father Rory; Dr Conway passed away unexpectedly, at her home.
Her passing is most deeply regretted by her heartbroken mother Jean, brothers Dermot, Bryan, and Craig, sister Susan, sisters-in-law Amy, Esther and Megan, Frank, her “niblings” Chara, Rory, Alex, Cian, Julie, Lauren, Sam, Daniel, Leo and Seb, extended relatives, esteemed colleagues, neighbours, friends and her much loved pet ‘Fionn’.
Dr. Vicky Conway made an important contribution to Irish society through her academic and professional work, as a teacher and member of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland; serving two terms as a member of the Policing Authority, thus making a substantial contribution to developing the oversight of policing within the Irish State.
Her voice remained prominent in relation to policing and criminal justice, and her sincere commitment to human rights and to those most vulnerable, was evident in all work undertaken.
Requiescat in Pace.
