The Irish Naval Association had their annual commemoration and wreath laying ceremony
yesterday Sunday the 26/01/2020 in Drogheda
in Honour of Leading Seaman (L/S) Michael Quinn DSM who lost his life
while going to the assistance of a Spanish fishing vessel in Bantry Bay
exactly thirty years ago this month. Michael came from Drogheda
and a number of years ago a stone Plaque was unveiled by the
President of Ireland Michael D Higgins in Michael's Honour and we have been
attending every year since. The Dublin Branch of the (INA) is named after Michael.
We had a very large turnout possibly the biggest since the unveiling made up of
members of the INA ,ONE Slane / Navan / Drogheda and the Erskine Childers Branch of the ONE. |
