The East Clare Memorial Committee held a poignant ceremony in the townland of Core, Feakle last evening and in so doing, commemorated the last victim of the Irish War of Independence in County Clare, Jim ‘Birdie Grogan.

After their hugely successful centenary commemorations of the Scariff Martyrs, the East Clare Memorial Committee are taking the story to a national platform, with a panel discussion on the very popular Trasna Na Tíre, which has reached thousands of people worldwide with their online historical lecture and discussion series.

The East Clare Memorial Committee, the longest serving commemoration groups of its kind in Clare, will privately commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of the Scariff Martyrs.
