Senator Pearse Doherty to speak at annual U.C.C. commemoration

The U.C.C Martin Hurson cumann will hold their annual commemoration on Wednesday the 28th of January. The commemoration was started a number of years ago, to commemorate 13 volunteers buried on campus, where Cork gaol once was.

It has gone from strength to strength in recent years, becoming a regular fixture in the local republican calendar. This year the cumann has the honour of having Senator Pearse Doherty to give the oration, and Carrick on Suir RFB will be in attendance also.


The commemoration will begin in the amphitheatre on front of the student centre in U.C.C. and will proceed past the Quad, and down to gaol cross, where a wreath will be laid at the old gaol wall, where Free State soldiers shot a man attempting to aid an escape.

The commemoration will then move on to the plot in front of the science building, where the oration will be given.

Assembly at 6.45pm - All welcome!

Beidh an comóradh bliantúil ag Cumann Máirtín Ó hUrsáin ar an gCeadaoin an 28ú lá de Eanáír. Do thosnaíodh on comóradh cúpla blian ó shin chun comóradh a dhéanamh ar 13 Óglaigh a chuireadh ann tar éis dóibh bás a fháil i bpríosún Chorcaí, in aice an láthair ar a bhfuil UCC sa lae inniu ann. Is onóir mór don chumann é go bhfuil an Seanadóir Piarais Ó Dochartaigh ag tabhairt an hóráide i mbliana, agus beidh Banna Poblachtánach Carraig na Siúire ann chomh maith.

Tosnóidh an comóradh os chomhair Áras na Mic Léinn, agus raghaidh sé thar an quad, ag stopadh ag Crosaire an Phriosúin, áit a fágfar bláth-fhleasc i gcuimhne an fhir ar mharaigh saighdiúirí an tSaor Stát agus é ag cuidiú le éalú na bpriosúnach. As sin imeoidh an comóradh go dtí an plasóg, áit a tabharfar an t-óráid.
