Casement commemoration at Banna
The annual Roger Casement commemoration took place at the Casement Monument in Banna on Monday, August 3rd, marking 110 years since the Irish patriot was executed at Pentonville Prison in London.
Organised by Tionól Mhic Easmainn in association with Conradh na Gaeilge (Trá Lí), the annual gathering honours the life and legacy of Roger Casement, who was hanged on August 3, 1916, for his role in the Easter Rising. This year’s oration was delivered by historian and author Dr Tim Horgan, who looked back on Casement’s life, his humanitarian work and his contribution to Ireland’s struggle for Irish independence.
The event took place at the Casement Monument in Banna, close to the site where Casement came ashore in April 1916 in an effort to support the Rising.
