Tyrone Victims Group Visits Donegal

Article 5 ~ December 2003

Members of County Tyrone Frontier Relief Society members have visited Doagh Visitors Centre at Inishowen County Donegal. The Society is affiliated to Tyrone County Grand Lodge and provides welfare and tangible support to widows and dependants of brethren, who have been tragically murdered by the IRA.

The centre, which is located in the picturesque peninsula of Inishowen, took the coach party back through the passage of time, relating to local history, dating back to the famine.

Other features at the centre included an Irish wake house, Orange Hall and Presbyterian meeting house. The day commenced with the party being entertained to a sumptuous lunch in Fahan Presbyterian Church hall by the ladies of the congregation. The hospitality shown by the County Donegal ladies sowed seeds of friendship, which will remain long after the visit.

The trip ended with a meal in the Redcastle Hotel overlooking the banks of the Foyle. The Society is deeply indebted to Fairhill and District Credit Union and Raphoe Action for their generous sponsorship of the event. Andrew Scott, Treasurer, Aughnamoyle House, 41 Gillygooley Road, Omagh BT78 5PP will gratefully receive donations for the futherance of the fund.
