Margaretta Ruth D'Arcy (born 14 June 1934,[1] London) is an Irish actress, writer, playwright, and activist.[2][3][4][5]

D'Arcy has been a member of the Irish association of artists, known as Aosdána, since its inauguration and is known for addressing Irish nationalism, civil liberties, and women's rights in her work.[3][4]

In 2014, she was imprisoned after she refused to sign a bond saying that she wouldn't trespass on non-public parts of Shannon Airport. Her arrest was a consequence of trespassing on airport property during protests over United States military stopovers at Shannon Airport.[citation needed]
