Remembering Roisin Barton

Friday 8th March

12pm – 2pm, The Maldron Hotel, Derry

This International Women’s Day on Friday 8th March, we would be delighted if you could join Féile for a special event remembering the much missed community activist Roisin Barton.

Roisin was always involved in something. An activist all her life, from her childhood running “messages” for her mother Nancy Keenan in the 1950s, to her last project, Forgotten Women, highlighting the role of Derry Republican women in the 1940s.

Republicanism, prisoner support, women’s rights and community activism marked her life and Derry is a better place for it.

We will be remembering Roisin’s achievements and the impact she left in our communities on International Women’s Day, Friday 8th March from 12pm – 2pm in The Maldron Hotel.

Tickets are limited and are available here: https://bit.ly/3uTBBod
