Sister Maura O'Donohue of the Medical Missionaries of Mary was named Clare Person of the Year at the Annual Dinner Dance of the Clare Association.
Speaking on behalf of the Association, Liam O'Looney said Sr Maura's life of service as a missionary doctor has been outstanding.
Bishop Willie Walsh, retired Bishop of Killaloe, commented on Sr Maura's work in many countries bringing her expertise in community health, relief of famine, as well as education, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
She thanked the people of Clare without whose support she would not have been able to achieve so much.
On retirement, she took up the problem of human trafficking and she is the designated person for child protection for the Medical Missionaries of Mary.
