Vol Pat Cannon remembered
The Volunteer Patrick Cannon commemoration held in Dublin last
Saturday proceeded from the Darndale roundabout to Balgriffin
Cemetery led by the Smith/Harford/Doherty Republican Flute Band.
Speeches were given at the cemetery by Danny Hamilton on behalf
of Sinn Féin Youth and Larry O'Toole on behalf of Sinn Féin.
Members of the Volunteer's family were also present.
Hamilton spoke of the setting up of a new Sinn Féin Youth cumann
in the area and the enthusiastic response from many local young
people.
Larry O'Toole expressed his heartfelt thanks to all those who had
helped him in the past few months following his shooting and
praised the courage and determination of local anti-drugs
activists whom he said have continued their work despite ongoing
intimidation and many other difficulties.
