The annual Liam Mellows (1892-1922) Commemorations took place in Castletown graveyard today (Sunday) in atrocious weather conditions.
Minister for Social Protection, Rural Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD was guest speaker at the Fianna Fáil event where wreaths were laid.
Refreshments were provided afterwards in The Golden Anchor, Castletown.
The annual commemoration held by Sinn Féin took place later in the day and the annual procession and events were also downgraded by torrential rain and difficult weather conditions.
Deputy Fionntán Ó Súilleabháin was chair of the organising committee and the address was delivered by Professor Ruan O’Donnell. Cllr Craig Doyle was in charge of operations.
