Carrignafoy Community College – Flag Presentation

On Thursday 12th. March two students from Carrignafoy Community College, Ashling Morey and Ava McCarthy attended the presentation of the Irish flag in Waterford as part of the Thomas F Meagher Trust Foundation initiative. The commemoration ceremony is to mark the raising of the flag for the first time in Waterford in 1848. Over three hundred schools were represented and a presentation of the flag was made to each school.

‘We remain indebted to this man who, in 1848, called for “a lasting truce between Orange and Green” to become the enduring symbol of the Irish Nation. This is indeed a vision worth championing, a message of peace we must continue to cherish.’ – President Higgins
