Jimmy McGilligan - DiA is very sad to announce that Jimmy McGilligan, Manager of the Barli Development Institute for Rural Women, passed away on 21st April after having been involved in a serious car accident. Barli has been an important placement to DiA over the years and Jimmy touched the lives of so many volunteers and visitors at the Institute. DiA will be paying tribute to Jimmy by posting a feature on his life and relationship to DiA on the website. If you would like to contribute a memory or photo to the feature please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
