Dawn Memorial Lecture To Mark Centenary Of Three Ennis Executions To Take Place Next Week
On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan was joined by Dr. Tomás MacConmara who is an oral historian and author. Tomás looked ahead to the commemorative lecture he will host in Drumcliffe Cemetery to mark the centenary of three IRA volunteers who were executed at Ennis Gaol by the Free State. He described the backgrounds of the three volunteers who were executed in 1923 who were Patrick O'Mahony, Christy Quinn and William O'Shaughnessy. He mentioned their engagement with republicanism in Ennis and stated that by the time they were executed, the civil war had already ended. The commemorative event is set to take place on Tuesday 2nd of May at 7am in Drumcliffe Cemetery and all are welcome.
