Gary Sheehan was part of a search party deployed to Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim in the search for Quinnsworth boss, Don Tidey, who was kidnapped by the IRA over three weeks' earlier.

The parade is normally attended by a only couple of hundred people.

Last year, the son of an Private Patrick Kelly objected to the walk in honour of IRA man Joe McGirl.

A man in his 50s sadly died after he set out on a fundraising classic car and run from Derrylin on Sunday morning.

The tractors will be leaving the stray sod on Saturday at midday and heading for Ballinamore.

The Diocese of Kilmore donated the site and station buildings to Leitrim County Council where it was taken on to restore and repurpose the building.

The two men were shot dead by the IRA as they took part in a search operation for kidnapped Quinnsworth CEO Don Tidey.

The enhanced service will also provide improved connectivity to Cavan General Hospital and Monaghan Institute.
