PJ Gallagher's mum Helen remembered as woman who 'loved a laugh'

The beloved mother of comedian PJ Gallagher was remembered at her funeral Mass as a woman who was “mad as a hatter” and who “loved a laugh”.

Helen Gallagher died on Saturday at the Mater Hospital in the capital. Mourners gathered for her funeral yesterday at St John the Baptist Church on Clontarf Road in North Dublin.

Her daughter Stacey said she was a “force of nature, one of a kind and kind of impossible to describe. I kind of wish everyone would come up and tell a story because it would just be her”.
