Irish Soldiers in Congo Remembered
from Cork News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Don’t miss Cork City Hall’s powerful event “Jadotville Remembered,” honoring Irish soldiers who fought bravely in the Congo in 1961 — the biggest battle the Irish army had seen since independence. Just 155 Irish troops held off 3,500 enemy fighters, survived an aerial bombing, and came home with zero casualties. Led by Kerry-born Commandant Pat Quinlan, their story will be told by his son, Leo, at this moving tribute organized by ONE. Proceeds fund vital housing for homeless Irish veterans — already boosted by a €2,000 pub donation. Tickets are just €15 — hear history, support heroes.
