Ógra Shinn Féin Organise Wreath Laying in UCC

On Easter Saturday Cork Ógra organised a wreath laying ceremony in UCC in honour of the 13 volunteers buried in the republican plot on campus.

David Barry and Graham McCormack, members of the Tomás MacCurtain/Kieran Doherty Cumann formed the colour party with Martin Hurson Cumann members Alan Conway and David Collins laying the wreath and playing the fife, respectively.


Cork North-West Ógra activist Aidan Bradley read the 1916 Proclamation and Joe Lynch of the Seamus Courtney Cumann chaired proceedings and delivered the Ógra Easter Message.
The ceremony was also attended by numerous other party members and supporters and was hailed as a fitting tribute to the volunteers buried on campus.
