The annual church gate collections for the Third Tipperary Brigade Old IRA Commemoration Committee will take place this weekend in Drangan and Cloneen.
The Cloneen Church Gate Collection will be taken up before 7pm mass in Cloneen this Saturday evening, October 5, and the Drangan Church Gate Collection will be taken up before 11am mass in Drangan on Sunday morning, October 6.
These collections provide much needed funds for the erection and maintenance of memorials throughout South Tipperary to those who gave their lives in the Irish War of Independence and Civil War.
The Third Tipperary Brigade Old IRA Commemoration Committee has donated valuable funds in past years for the upkeep of the Seventh Battalion Memorial Grotto in Drangan village, and the group hopes that this will happen again this year.
