“Woman's Way” magazine has shortlisted Ireland's Member of the European Parliament, Kathy Sinnott, as one of the nominees in the Celeb Mum of the Year finals. It came as no surprise to us that Kathy Sinnott was shortlisted.
After all, this is the woman who as well as having nine children of her own (ranging from 14 to 35), she took on her six nephews and nieces in 2005 following the death of her sister Mary Brigid, and has continued to carve out a demanding political career and campaign for better services for children with special needs by setting up the Hope Project.
