Taoiseach to visit homestead of Sean MacDiarmada, Kiltyclogher



The Taoiseach will visit the homestead of Sean MacDiarmada in Kiltyclogher in county Leitrim today.

Enda Kenny is expected to meet family members of the late 1916 signatory as well as local politicians.

He will also attend a leader partnership expo in the Sligo Park Hotel later this evening at 5pm.

Leitrim Councillor Sean McDermott says the homestead should become a more significant anchor for tourism in the county and he’s hoping this visit will
