Fr Edward Daly onBloody Sunday

The picture of a priest {Fr Edward Daly}  waving a blood stained handkerchief as one of the victims ,Jackie duddy ,is carried to safety is perhaps one of the most enduring images of Bloody Sunday.

Fr Edward Daly was then a 39 -year old curate at st Eugene's cathedral in Derry. In recent weeks due to the Saville Inquiry Bishop Daly's picture was again 38 yrs later on TV screens all over the world.

The Kinsale peace project is a voluntary non profit committee founded over 3 years ago by Kinsale locals Padraig Fitzgerald& Gerard Timmons.

The project encourages human rights speakers to come to Kinsale
to speak about their ground breaking work in promoting peace and justice throughout the world.

The Kinsale Peace Project was set up by Kinsale locals Padraig Fitzgerald and Gerard Timmons in October 2007

The aim of the peace project is to promote peace and justice at home and overseas and to encourage human rights speakers to come to Kinsale and speak about their peace -building work in conflict areas of our world!

Kinsale which is an ideal venue for such events, became Ireland's 2nd fair-trade town in October 2005, over 25 outlets in kinsale sell fair-trade products, thus ensuring that the people of the developing world receive a fairprice for what they produce,the kinsale voluntary fair-trade committee also won an award for best fair-trade town in Ireland 2007!!

Out of this award winning committee ,the Kinsale Peace Project was set up!
