Máire Brennan

Máire Brennan was the mother of the Brennan sisters, who struggled with serious mental illness and exhibited both verbal and physical abuse towards her children. Her reaction to Catherine's disclosure of sexual abuse was one of disbelief and anger, as she prioritized the family's reputation over the well-being of her daughters. Despite later showing signs of remorse, her initial refusal to believe Catherine contributed to the sisters' long-standing trauma and silence regarding their abuse.
