On 12 July 1929, O'Malley was born in Dublin, Ireland, to the Limerick spirit, tea and wine importer Patrick O'Malley, and his wife Kathleen ( Bonass).

Raised in Limerick, she had an elder brother and was a second cousin to Donogh O'Malley.

1947

She made her first visit to a sherry supplier in Spain in 1947, and was impressed at the country being more puritanical than Ireland.

1960

In the 1960s, O'Malley became a member of the Spanish Communist Party and co-established the illegal Workers' Commission's education branch, which was an underground trade union movement.

She said she joined the Communist Party because it was the only one with sufficient organisation and coherence to establish "an effective underground opposition to Franco" and was impressed by its strategy to reconcile Spain and promote democracy as it wanted to avoid another Spanish Civil War.

O'Malley was twice expelled from the party for her independent thinking, only to be readmitted.

Her political activities saw her serve two prison sentences; while serving her sentence at Carabanchel Prison for distribution and possession of communist material, O'Malley taught fellow inmates to read and write.

She later became a member of the staff at the British School.

Several of O'Malley's pupils were children of leading Franco government members, and she adopted dual Irish and Spanish nationality.
