On Easter Sunday, March 31, Thurles Sinn Féin held their annual Easter 1916 Commemoration in Liberty Square, Thurles.
Local election candidate Dan Harty gave the main oration at the event.
Speaking after the event Mr. Harty said:
“I would like to thank everyone who supported our Lily campaign and attended our 1916 Commemoration over the weekend."
"The 1916 Proclamation remains the mission statement of modern Irish republicanism. A rights-based society in which the people are sovereign.We have achieved considerable positive change across this island since 1916. The election of the first Irish republican First Minister in the North is a hugely significant milestone in the history of this island.
"Michelle O’Neill pledged to be a First Minister for all and that is what she is doing each and every day. In the south, an appetite for change is all around us. Government should call an election now.
"As we reflect on our nation’s history, let us go forward with confidence that we will deliver further change for Ireland in the time ahead. That we will realise the progressive vision of 1916 - a free and united Ireland.”
