On May 16th at 7pm – the day on which the annual Doolough Famine Walk was due to take place, Afri hosted a virtual Famine Walk Forum with distinguished guest speakers, great conversation and live music. Our host was campaigner and author Ruairí McKiernan. He was joined by renowned violinist Colm Mac Con Iomaire, harpist Emer Lynam and singer-songwriters RoJ Whelan and Paul O’Toole, as well as guest speakers including Emeritus Professor John Maguire, author and Lecturer Dr. Clare O’Grady Walshe, MASI member Donnah Vuma and student climate activist Gráinne Malone.

The event was an inspiration with extraordinary music as we gathered together to mark the iconic annual Famine Walk, which is now in its 4th decade. The event was free to all and broadcast live on Afris various social media channels.

Afri appreciates participants and friends for your support for the Famine Walk, over many years.

If you would like to contribute you can donate online at www.afri.ie Or you might consider doing a sponsored walk (even within 5km limit) or other fundraising activities. All other help appreciated including spreading the word. We hope to ensure the 2020 walk takes place at a later date this year and will keep people posted.
