Kilconly commemorates the struggle for Irish independence

KILCONLY did the memory of those of their parish and beyond who served the cause of Irish freedom proud on Sunday when the community, young and old, turned out in force at their Community Centre to mark the 100th anniversary of the actual date of the start of the 1916 Rising – April 24.
The event-packed day began with a special concelebrated mass in the centre which was followed by an outline of some notable local events throughout the independence struggle presented by journalist, author and broadcaster Tom Gilmore from Sylane.
