The veterans memorial at Tullamore courthouse where the commemoration will be held
AN Easter Commemoration will take place again this year on the steps of Tullamore Courthouse in front of the old veterans memorial on Easter Sunday morning, April 20 at 12pm.
The commemoration is to honour Offaly men and women who participated in the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War.
This year will be the third year to hold the event and it is getting more popular each year said organisers Brenda and Odran Condron.

Outlined Odran: "From now on every year we will be remembering local people from Offaly who were involved but whose names were never acknowledged in any previous commemorations. This year two local men, Ted Berry and Matt Brien from Killeigh are being honoured."
The commemoration consists of contributions from local historians, pipers, drummers and relatives of those who played any part in the fight for Irish Independence.
Members of the Tullamore branch of the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (ONE) will also be participating in the Colour party. The event is open to the public so all are welcome to attend.
