Enda Kenny is to be First Serving Taoiseach to Address Annual Beal na mBlath Commemoration
- Details
Fine gael leader Enda Kenny will become the first serving Taoiseach to address the annual Béal na mBláth commemoration in west Cork this month.
This year’s commemoration will also mark something of a first in another respect as the Rolls-Royce armoured car, Sliabh na mBan, which was part of Michael Collins’s convoy on the day he was killed in 1922, will return to Béal na mBláth.
The local committee which organises the annual event decided that the Taoiseach would be the most appropriate person to deliver the speech on the 90th anniversary of Collins’s death at the site during the Civil War.
