Northern Ireland War Memorial mark anniversary of the Belfast Blitz https://www.poharaphoto.com/blog/2023/5/northern-ireland-war-memorial-mark-anniversary-of-the-belfast-blitz The Northern Ireland War Memorial marked an anniversary of the Belfast Blitz with a wreath laying ceremony at the mass blitz grave in Milltown Cemetery. This commemoration coincided with the anniversary of the Fire raid which took place on 4/5 May 1941, resulting in the loss of over 200 lives. On that night, Belfast suffered its second major air raid of the Belfast Blitz.

The attack lasted around 2 hours during which 237 tons of explosives were dropped along with 96,000 incendiaries, causing the centre of the city to become an inferno. The mass grave exists for those killed across the four raids of the Belfast Blitz who were found with items such as crucifixes or rosary beads. Pictured is Chair of the Board Colonel (Retired) Don Bigger with invited guest Maeve McAtamney and piper Angus Pollock from Campbell College Combined Cadet Force.

Minister Mallon unveils preferred route for Cookstown Bypass Scheme https://www.poharaphoto.com/blog/2021/12/minister-mallon-unveils-preferred-route-for-cookstown-bypass-scheme Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon has visited Cookstown where the preferred route for the A29 Cookstown Bypass has been unveiled this week.

Details of the proposed new route have been on display at the Burnavon Arts and Cultural Centre and virtually on the Department for Infrastructure website.  

During a visit to the public exhibition today Minister Mallon said:  “I am committed to delivering for all communities across Northern Ireland.  Last year I announced my intention to progress a number of strategic infrastructure and flagship projects.  One of these projects was the A29 Cookstown Bypass so I am delighted to be in Cookstown this week where we are unveiling the preferred route.“The proposed route, which is approximately 4km in length, provides a significant opportunity to remove strategic traffic from the town centre of Cookstown.  This will help to reduce traffic congestion, increase road safety and improve air quality".
