Inaugural James P Cullen Memorial Walk in Arigna

James P Cullen will be remembered in Arigna

This weekend Arigna fondly remembers Jim Cullen and walk along his favourite trails and recall the warm talks and friendship that was shared.


James, or Jim as he was known locally was a wonderful man who was a well respected Brigadier General in the US Army. His family came from Arigna and he visited every year.
On Saturday, August 4 at 12.30pm join the guided walk to Tobhair Aibhe. Dr Kieran O'Connor from NUIG will give a lecture there.

Tabhair Aibjne is an ancient Holy Well and Grave on the Sligo mountains. A pilgrim walk to the site took place for years. The view from the shrine is spectacular.
