Sheila Clerkin (née O’Brien), a longstanding member of An Coimisiún, has died in London, aged 92. A loved and respected teacher, adjudicator and feis musician, Sheila danced at Charlie Smyth’s School and later with Ted Kavanagh. With Patsy Goulding, she was the first teacher in London to qualify as an adjudicator with An Coimisiún in 1965. During the 1960s Sheila produced Great Britain champions, and taught many pupils who went on to become teachers including Michael Maguire, June Deegan, Margaret O’Loughlin, Helen O’Loughlin, Ann Gallagher, Peter Boylan, Margaret Troy, Mary Cosgrave, and her daughter, Máire. After retiring from adjudicating, Sheila continued to be involved on the regional council, and played piano at many feiseanna. For thirty years, she was a school teacher, specializing in music. Sheila remained an honorary member of CLRG until succumbing to Alzheimer’s. Sheila met her husband, Frank (decd. 2020) at Mr Smyth’s class shortly after he arrived in England from County Monaghan, and they soon became partners in successful teams. They were married for 66 years. Their five children, who all danced, will commemorate Sheila at her funeral on 26th February in North London. RIP
