Anna McEnroe wasn’t going to miss John Bruton’s State funeral, even though she’s older than the State.
Anna has known the Brutons since she arrived in Dunboyne over sixty years ago. She worked with John’s father Joe in the voluntary services that were started and flourished as the small Co Meath hamlet mushroomed into a bustling commuter town.
