Republicans from all over Donegal as well as supporters from neighbouring counties of Derry and Tyrone are expected to gather in Stranorlar this afternoon for the annual Easter Commemorations.
It is expected that the anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, the 100th anniversary of the execution of four men at Drumboe during the Civil War and the current political situation are among the topics certain to dominate Easter commemorations throughout Donegal this weekend.
The main commemoration event in Stranorlar will start at 3pm as usual from Johnson’s Corner at the top of the town. It will be chaired by Padraig Mac Lochlainn TD and the main speaker will be Pearse Doherty TD.
Other commemoration events have already been held yesterday and this morning while others will be held tomorrow, Easter Monday in Donegal Town (10.30am), Carrigart (12.30pm), Fanad (3pm) and Pettigo (3.30pm).
