A function to aid the general maintenance and upkeep of the War of Independence memorial at Elphin will be held in the Bóthar Rua pub, Elphin on this Saturday night, December 21st.
The memorial was constructed just over sixty years ago, to commemorate all who died in Roscommon during the revolutionary period.
The site of the memorial will be impacted by realignment works on the R369 road that is part of the new N5 road development and it is hoped that as a result of these works, parking space can be improved at the monument.
The function on Saturday night will have live music and ballads, ticket draw for cash prizes and lots of spot prizes as well. Admission optional.
