Despite the very cold and wet weather conditions on Sunday, 1st April 2018 there was a superb gathering at the National Monument where Jerry Lehane who was MC Supreme at the ceremony and the dedicated Monument Committee had the flags flying, the public address ready, beautiful flowers enhancing the setting and arrangements for refreshments at the very welcoming McCarthy’s Bar under the splendid management of Joanne and Family. Here we share some 66 images from the important annual occasion where we witness Millstreet Pipe Band, the Gardaí, Con Foley raising the national flag, the visiting Trumpeter playing the Last Post tribute, Tony McCarthy placing the Wreath, Jerry Doody reading the Proclamation, Siobhán Bean Uí Éalaithe reciting a decade of the Rosary and special Guest Speaker, Gerry White delivering an excellent address.
