Margaret Hawkins has been a freelance journalist since 1988 and is currently the health columnist with the Irish Farmers Journal.
She has had one-act plays staged, a radio play broadcast by RTÉ and a documentary, ‘Forgotten People’ aired by South East Radio. The latter formed the basis and inspiration for her first book, Restless Spirit. For some samples of work, see the Books, Journalism, Radio and Stage, Poetry and Short Stories pages.
