    Hello

    Myself and a few associates are looking to organise a Local Historical Society. At the moment we clean up the graves and memorials of Irish Patriots, who are more or less sadly forgotton, particularly those who fought in 1798. We hold small anniversary ceremonies, usually involving a couple of quick speeches and a wreath laying.

    The purpose is to keep the memory of the patriots who fought for Ireland alive and to educate and indeed learn from others.

    We are small in numbers at present and operate mainly in the Leinster region but are hoping to expand. We are not connected to any political movements nor will we be seeking money, just for people to attend a meeting or discussion group every 10 weeks or so.

    If anyone would like more information or would be interested in participating I would like to hear from you.

    Thank you

    RM

    Thanks all for the replies:)

    Cheers for the link, I'll try get in touch with them :)

    You're right, a lot of the sites sadly are rotting away, the croppy acre in Dublin also is an eye sore with beer cans and grafitti everywhere, some people just have no respect at all:mad:
