UNISON NI offers condolences on the death of Cath Friel

It is with deep sadness that we write to advise of the death of Cath Friel, former NEC member for Scotland and UNISON NI Regional Education Officer.

Cath passed away on Friday evening in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Glasgow following a long illness. Several of Cath’s friends and former colleagues made frequent visits to her during her long stay in hospital.

Cath was a long time UNISON activist and joined the staff of UNISON NI in 2000. She returned to Scotland in 2015 upon her retirement. Cath made many friends during her time in Northern Ireland and she will be much missed by all of us.

Funeral arrangements to follow.
