A Laois republican movement spearheaded by Deputy Brian Stanley TD have announced the details of their upcoming commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising.
Independent Republican’s Laois will hold their Annual Commemoration of the 1916 Rising on Easter Sunday to mark its one hundred and tenth anniversary.
The group will assemble at the Heath National School at 11:30am on Sunday April 5, and parade the short distance to the Laois Monument where the ceremony will be held. Wreaths will be laid and words will be spoken to mark the event.
"The Commemoration will honour all those who struck for Irish freedom and independence on Easter week 1916, including those from County Laois who played a part," a representative said.
"The Rising was the catalyst that led to the creation of our 26 county State. It also encouraged people in other British occupied colonies around world to take up the fight for their freedom."
The group have said that all are welcome to attend their event.
This is the group's second annual commemoration. Read more about last year's commemoration here.
