THE IRISH VOLUNTEERS Commemorative Organisation (IVO) announced it will display an exhibition of Irish War of Independence memorabilia to mark the 1oo year anniversary of The Fianna Convention of 1912.

The exhibition will take place at the Teachers Club in Parnell Square, Dublin on Saturday 27 October.

Na Fianna Eireann, or The Irish National Boy Scouts, was founded by Madame Markievicz, Con Colbert, Eamon Martin and other republicans in 1909.
