Biography
Jackman was from Castletroy in County Limerick. A teacher by profession, she spent her entire career at Presentation College, Limerick.
A member of Limerick County Council for the Castleconnell local electoral area from 1985 to 2014,[3] she was the first woman Cathaoirleach (chair) of Limerick County Council.[4] Jackman has unsuccessfully contested four general elections in the Limerick East constituency (1989, 1992, 1997, and 2002),[5] falling just 305 votes short of winning seat at the 1997 general election. She was also defeated at the Limerick East by-election in March 1998, and did not stand at the 2007 general election.[5]
After her 1989 defeat, she was elected to the 19th Seanad on the Labour Panel. She lost her seat at the 1993 Seanad elections, but was re-elected in 1997 to the 21st Seanad. At the 2002 Seanad elections, she stood instead on the Industrial and Commercial Panel, but did not win a seat.[5] She died on 30 May 2022, aged 79.[6]
