Cork hunger strike commemoration

Republicans in Cork will commemorate all those republicans who have died on hunger strike with a ceremony in the city on Saturday 20 October, asembling at the National Monument on the Grand parage at 1.30pm and marching to the republican plot at St Finbarr's cemetery via the family home of Joe Murphy, who died on hunger strike in October 1920. A headstone in memory of the men will be unveiled by Mary Wilkinson and Malachy McCreesh, sister and brother of Tom McElwee and Ray McCreesh, respectively.
