Early life and educationCotter was born in Roscommon to Nicholas Patrick Cotter and Bridie O'Brien on 3 January 1921. Her father was the chief agricultural officer for Roscommon. She had eleven younger siblings. Cotter was educated by both the Convent of Mercy, Roscommon, and the Ursuline Convent, Sligo. After secondary school Cotter attended University College, Dublin where in 1944 she graduated with a bachelor in science in both chemistry and mathematics. She continued to achieve her masters the following year with a thesis on epanorin, a chemical constituent of the lichen Lecanora epanora. After graduation Cotter worked in the university for another year as a chemistry demonstrator as well as working for the Medical Research Council on atmospheric pollution in Dublin; Cotter achieved diplomas in bacteriology and food technology.[1][2][3][4][5] Chemistry careerIn the period from 1947–1948 Cotter moved to the United Kingdom where she worked at the Imperial Chemical Industries laboratories in Manchester on moulds and fungi, including penicillin. On her return to Ireland spent time teaching in Coláiste Ide, Dingle, Co. Kerry, and went on to spend the next ten years as a chemist in the state laboratory, Dublin during which time she spent 4 years in charge of the bacteriological section. In 1958 she went to work for the Department of agriculture, becoming an agricultural inspector and chief technical officer. She remained in that post until her death.[1][4][5] Law careerOutside of her main work, Cotter became qualified in law.
