Padraig Fitzgerald & Gerard Timmons of the Kinsale peace project are delighted to announce that bishop Edward Daly of bloody Sunday has accepted the invitation to come to Kinsale on October 13th

The picture of a priest {fr Edward Daly}  waving a blood stained handkerchief as one of the victims, Jackie Duddy, is carried to safety is perhaps one of the most enduring images of Bloody Sunday.

fr Edward Daly was then a 39 -year old curate at st Eugene's cathedral in Derry.In recent weeks due to the Saville Inquiry Bishop Daly picture was again 38 yrs later on TV screens all over the world.

The Kinsale peace project is a voluntary non profit committee founded over 3 years ago by Kinsale locals Padraig Fitzgerald& Gerard Timmons.the project encourages human rights speakers to come to Kinsale to speak about their ground breaking work in promoting peace and justice throughout the world.
