Ciaran’s Peculier [sic] Blog

Our efforts to commemorate the victims of the convent fire of February 1943 are going from strength to strength. A panel containing the names of those who lost their lives is to be unveiled shortly near the entrance to the convent complex from Cavan’s main street. An ecumenical service is also to be held next month at the convent.  Carina Charles of Shannonside Northern Sound Radio is preparing a documentary about the tragedy, which will feature interviews with residents of Cavan town at the time, as well as contributions from Sean Galligan and yours truly.

 The aspect which h is most pleasing is the strength that the members have been able to muster internally from the group by acting as a team. It is always edifying to know that ordinary people with a purpose and a focus can get results.
