February Branch Meeting Report
Our meeting on Lá Fhéile Bríde was held in the Southcourt Hotel. A busy meeting with updates on planning for hosting the AGM in May and two very different guest speakers
Ger O'Donoghue gave us a very informative talk on pensions and entitlements. Tom Twomey gave an illustrated talk on a local but relatively unknown event from 1920, a raid on an IRA-organised fundraising dance held in Caherguillamore House, Co Limerick. Tom has a podcast on the topic on Limerick City Community Radio. (The History Show.)
Future plans include a trip to Dublin and Epic Museum in March. A trip abroad is currently being investigated for the autumn.
