EU candidate to present annual Feargal O'Hanlon lecture

Pearse Doherty

The Sinn Féin candidate for the EU elections, Pearse Doherty, will deliver the annual Feargal O'Hanlon Memorial Lecture this Sunday. Volunteer Feargal O'Hanlon from Monaghan was murdered along side Seán Sabhat (South) of Limerick in the early hours of 1957 following a republican attack at Brookeborough Barracks.

Over recent years, in memory of the young Monaghan man, a tribute lecture has been held. The organisers are delighted that on this occasion Pearse Doherty will be the main speaker at an event that always attracts a large attendance.

The lecture will take place in the Hillgrove Hotel, Monaghan this Sunday, 28 March, at 3pm. Doherty, who at 26 is one of the youngest candidates seeking election to the European Parliament, will be speaking on the theme Youth, Politics — Our Future. All are welcome.
