The annual Roger Casement commemoration takes place at Murlough Bay in Antrim. Present this year is MP Gerry Fitt.
It was Casement's request that he be buried at this location but following his execution for treason, the British government refused and when Casement’s remains were finally repatriated in 1965, he was buried in the Republican plot in Glasnevin Cemetery. Soil from Murlough Bay was placed in his grave. This annual commemoration still takes place.
