Remembering Martin Savage

On Saturday, the annual Martin Savage commemoration took place in Dublin, organised by the Joe McDonnell Sinn Féin Cumann, Blanchardstown. Some 150 people attended, including members of the Savage family, who had travelled from Sligo and members of the Cohen/Savage Cumann in Sligo. Two bands led the parade from Castleknock village to the memorial at the Halfway House in Ashtown.
