For the second year running I had the pleasure in recording Limerick’s National Day of Commemoration for our past service men and women. Joining me at City Hall on camera was Ben O’Sullivan, where we captured the officiating representatives of the faith traditions and members of Limerick City Council and of the Oireachtas.
After each representative gave a prayer the new mayor Cllr. Jerry McLoughlin laid a wreath at the plaque on behalf of the people of Ireland.
This ceremony also took place across other cities such as Galway, Cork, Waterford, Killkenny and Dublin.
The final DVD was edited for City Hall’s records and commissioned by Futureama Productions.
In honour of all those Irishmen and Irishwomen who died in past wars or on service with the United Nations.
