Unveiling and dedication of Pádraig Mac Piarais Plaque for Dunloy GAA & CC grounds.
Nochtfar plaic in ómós do Phádraig Mac Piarais i bPáirc Mhic Phiarais, Dún Lathaí C.L.G. & C.C.
Saturday 21st May 2016 - 7.00pm
Michael Hasson, Ulster GAA President, and Fr Blaney will unveil and bless the Plaque for Pádraig Mac Piarais Park, Dunloy GAA & CC grounds. The name on the plaque copies the name inscribed on the first set of gates erected on the grounds.
This ceremony will also mark the day that the park was officially opened, 21st May 1950.
The 1950 commemorative booklet explains that ‘ In selecting the title of "Patrick Pearse”, by which name our new Grounds will in future be known, we hope that this choice will be an inspiration to our future Gaels and remind them of the ideals for which this great patriot died, and thereby help to keep alive the traditions of Gaelic culture in Dunloy.’
Refreshments will be served in Tí Cúchullain after the formalities.
