The annual Easter Monday commemoration organised by Loch Garman Sinn Féin to remember the men and women of the 1916 Rising in Enniscorthy took place in sunshine this afternoon.
A lone piper led a colourful and dignified parade from the Rafter Bridge, up Castle Hill and into Market Square and onto Weafer Street, concluding at St. Mary’s graveyard at Blackstoops.
Wreaths were laid and the main speaker was Kathleen Funchion TD and Ireland South European Election candidate. The attendance included Johnny Mythen TD, Sinn Féin councillors and candidates for the forthcoming Local Elections.
Earlier on Easter Monday the annual commemoration at Murrintown took place.
It was one of a series of commemorations held in Co. Wexford. The Wexford Town commemoration took place on Easter Sunday. Assembly was at Crescent Quay Car Park and the parade finished at Crosstown Cemetery. The main speaker was Johnny Mythen TD.
The Riverchapel Commemoration took place on Easter Saturday at Ardamine Graveyard, final resting place of Seán Etchingham. Speakers were Cllr Fionntán Ó Súilleabháin and Local Elections candidate Kevin Molloy. Another commemoration took place at Ballymore, Camolin later that evening.
