RESERVE LAST WEEKEND NOVEMBER

SUPPORT SINN FÉIN EVENTS

Clonakilty Sinn Féin members and supporters are reminded that the last weekend of November will be a particularly busy one.

The formal convention to select/launch the candidate for the upcoming General Election for Cork South West will take place at the Munster Arms Hotel, Bandon at 6.30pm on Saturday. The candidate selected will most likely be Paul Hayes of the Clonakilty Cumann, who is a member of the SF Árd Comhairle. Martin Ferris, T.D. and possibly Martin McGuinness will be guest speakers on the night.

It is also the annual Manchester Martyrs Commemorative Weekend in Bandon, which is organised by the Bandon Sinn Féin Cumann.

On Friday evening (26th) Ógra Shinn Féin will assemble at the Munster Arms Hotel along with youth representatives of other political parties to discuss the topic “Irelands Future - Your Vision” at 8.00pm.

The following morning at 11.00am, a bus departs the Munster Arms for a tour of historical sites in the West Cork area.

That night, after the convention, the annual Manchester Martyrs Commemoration takes place, this year it is a torchlight parade to Kilbrogan old cemetery, Bandon where the family grave of Philip Allen, one of the three Fenians executed in 1867 is located.

The popular “Spirit of Freedom” will entertain after at the Munster Arms.

Sunday 28^th marks the 90^th anniversary of the famous Kilmichael Ambush and the day will commence with Aifreann as Gaeilge at Castletownkenneigh Church and wreath laying in the cemetery, followed by the main commemoration at the battle site, with oration by Martin McGuinness.
