Memorial and parade will honour Thomas Kent

A year after his body was exhumed from an unmarked plot in Cork prison and interred in the family grave in Castlelyons, Co Cork, commemoration events in memory of Kent have been organised in his native village, nearby Fermoy and Cork city.

The commemorations will get underway on May 1 when the bridge crossing the River Blackwater in Fermoy is officially named in Thomas Kent’s honour.
