So sorry to hear this. RIP Nichola. 🙏
Down Syndrome Ireland is devastated by the news that our CEO, Nichola Aylward, has passed away.
Nichola has been an incredible part of Down Syndrome Ireland for many years, having worked with the Waterford Branch as a committee member and officer for over a decade, as well as the National Treasurer for board, before joining as CEO in May of this year.
Everyone who met Nichola will agree that she was an incredibly passionate, caring person who strived to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome and tirelessly support their families.
We are thinking of all our members affected by this sad news and would like to pay our respects to Nichola's family, and in particular, her daughter Elizabeth.
