In August 2025, more than fifty years after making constitutional history, Skerries woman May McGee and her late husband Seamus were celebrated and honoured in their own community.

Skerries Tidy Towns commissioned the installation in Floraville of a Mosaic to celebrate the groundbreaking Supreme Court victory in December 1973, of Skerries woman Mary (May) McGee, which effectively legalised the sale and importation of contraceptives. The mosaic is by renowned Irish international artist Helen McLean. Skerries Tidy Towns thanked the Department of Rural and Community Development, Skerries Community Association and the Chamber of Commerce for their financial support. Many joined the organisers, May herself and her family and friends at Floraville on Saturday, August 30 for the official unveiling of the Mosaic and to finally celebrate this local heroine.

We salute you, May, and thank you for your courage in challenging authority and helping to create a kinder Ireland!

Many thanks to Skerries Tidy Towns for commissioning the beautiful plaque and for organising this wonderful occasion.
