Five years after being knighted by King George V of Great Britain, for his humanitarian work in The Congo and in Peru, Roger Casement was hanged for treason.  His unfortunate hanging took place in Pentonville Prison, London, exactly 108 years ago.

THE Good Friday Roger Casement Gathering has had to be relocated to the Banna Strand Casement Memorial because of flooding in the McKenna Fort area.

Historian, Dr Tim Horgan, will speak at the new location, at the Memorial, which is signposted near the entrance to Banna Strand, at 12.15pm.

All are welcome and the organisers, Tionól Mhic Easmainn and Conradh na Gaeilge, regret this unfortunate inconvenience.
