Islandbridge.
The National Day of Commemoration takes place in the Royal Hospital,
Kilmainham on Sunday 14th July, guests to be seated for 10:15hrs. This is
an organised event by the Dept of An Taoiseach.
Fuchsia Launch
On the 27th June ONE will launch their annual Fuchsia Appeal in order
to raise much needed funds for ONE's charitable causes. The main drive
of the appeal takes place during the month of July which is the month
of the National Day of Remembrance. The fuchsia was chosen as it's
widely grown throughout Ireland and is commonly known as Deora Dé
or God's Tears. To this end the Fuchsia was chosen as a fundraising emblem, a badge of remembrance and a symbol to honour those currently
serving in the Defence Forces.
