A relative of Tipperary’s Michael Hogan says the Bloody Sunday Commemorations have been a monumental year.
Julianne McKeigue works in the Croke Park Museum in Dublin.
When it finally reopens the museum will feature a new section focusing on Bloody Sunday and the fateful football match between Tipperary and Dublin.
Julianne is a grandniece of Michael Hogan who died on Bloody Sunday.
“It’s been a mad year looking back at it I suppose between planning for our events early last year and then the changes that had to come about from Covid. So that was kind of a reassessment of all the work we’d put in the previous year and the plans for the Bloody Sunday anniversary.”
“Then my own family connection – we had family that were due to come home from America and Scotland for the commemoration and obviously they couldn’t travel.”
