The Daily PollPoll: Is too much being done to commemorate the 1916 Rising?
A commemorative event was held in west Cork for Michael Collins yesterday.
YESTERDAY SAW JUSTICE Minister Frances Fitzgerald speaking at the annual Béal na mBláth commemoration for Michael Collins in west Cork.
The event was to mark the death of the revolutionary leader, who was killed on 22 August, 1922.
Earlier this month the 100th anniversary of the funeral of Fenian leader O’Donovan Rossa was the first major event of the 1916 commemoration programme.
