Nominations sought for humanitarian award

A prestigious humanitarian award, which honours an heroic Cork-born priest and was initially introduced for individuals, now includes organisations and teams.

Nominations are invited for the Hugh O’Flaherty International Humanitarian Award, which will be presented in Killarney later this year.

Mgr O’Flaherty helped save more than 6,500 prisoners of war, Jews, and Roman citizens from arrest or re-capture during the Nazi occupation of Rome in the Second World War.
