Brian Foley

Brian Foley was Esther Hayes boss who developed a friendship outside the workplace with her in 1961. The pair began attending concerts together, visiting galleries, and when Esther was too ill to go on the trip to Blackpool he sat with her to keep her company. When Esthers brother Tom re-entered her life and upset her it was Brian whom Esther turned to for emotional support and it was Brian who told him that he wasn't welcome, prompting to leave his sister alone.
