After the Hen night... the WHEN night!

In these days of PC, republicans in the Whest of Ireland have decided to develop the traditional Hen night idea into their very own, and very first WHEN night. This `Welcome Home Escapees Night' is being organised to mark the news that Séamus Campbell, Jim Clarke and Dermot McNally, three of the 1983 H Block escapees and living in the West for many years, are now free to travel once again.

The night in the Salthill Hotel on 22 June is a fundraiser and tickets are £10 while music is being provided by Na Fianna.

It promises to be a great evening. Many other escapees have already agreed to come for the event and as a post-election, post-referendum party a number of MPs will also attend, though they're keeping tight-lipped at this stage as to who those MPs will be.

Tickets for the WHEN night are available from any of the Galway cumainn and the organisers are hoping for a big turn-out from all over the country to give the three escapees a great night out.
