Kerry hosting largest 1916 event outside of Dublin

The naval ship LÉ Aisling is in the bay, the Irish army will be on manoeuvres, and the strains of ‘Lonely Banna Strand’ are ringing out across Tralee Bay in one of the biggest State commemorations outside of Dublin of events associated with 1916.

After delivering a well received speech President Michael D Higgins has laid a wreath at the recovered anchor of the Aud, the German arms ship which Roger Casement was to liaise with.
