The annual Sinn Féin Easter Commemoration will take place in Killeshin on Easter Sunday at 12pm. 

The parade will be led by a piper and the colour party and it will start at the Killeshin Community Centre and will finish at the Padraig MacGamhna Memorial cross opposite Killeshin Church where the speeches will take place.
They will have a wreath laying ceremony on behalf of the MacGamhna (Gaffney) family, the local Cumann branch and Laois Sinn Féin. The Proclamation of Ireland and Roll of Honor will be read by their local election candidates.
The event is being held in memory of Padraig MacGamhna, who fought and suffered in the fight for Ireland's freedom and who was one of Ireland's first TDs and an influential figure in the trade union. The event is being organised by the Lacey Connor Motley (Graiguecullen) Cumann and local election candidate Aaron Kelly will be Chairperson at the event.
Following the Commemoration, they are inviting guests back to Brennans Bar in Graiguecullen for a raffle and some light refreshments. All are welcome to attend.
