Kiskeam is set to commemorat­e Sean Moylan this November 18

-

THE annual Sean Moylan Commemorat­ion will take place on Sunday, November 18, in Kiskeam, with the oration being delivered by Fianna Fáil Brexit Spokespers­on Lisa Chambers TD.

Mass will take place at 12 noon, following which a colour party led by the Cullen Pipe Band and the Sean Moylan Fianna Fáil Cumann will march to Moylan’s graveside. Following the commemorat­ion, there will be an exhibition of old documents and memorabili­a in the Community Centre to commemorat­e the 100th anniversar­y of women’s suffrage in Ireland and achievemen­ts in the name of Irish freedom.

Last year’s event was considered a great success, with over 300 scrolls presented at a ceremony at the Kiskeam Community Centre, with many others posted abroad.

It was hoped that the scrolls, a gesture of remembranc­e, would act as symbol of stories from the past.
