The Lorrha Martin O’ Meara VC Committee, is reaching out to raise funds to celebrate the visit of Martin O’Meara’s Victoria Cross back to our village of Lorrha in North Tipperary in 2022 for the first time in 105 years.

Captain Steve Muir, Manager of the Army Museum of Western Australia was in touch to thank the Lorrha Martin O’Meara VC committee members  for hosting himself and Neil in Lorrha. Steve said they were both very touched by our generosity and warm welcome.

In early November 2023, the Lorrha & Dorrha Historical Society hosted Conchobhar Ó’Súilleabháin alongside his living history group, ‘The Last Prince – O’Sullivan Beare.’ Their presence was a remarkable opportunity for locals and visitors alike to delve into the stories and legacy of this significant historical figure.
