Boru Commemorations In Killaloe

Large crowds are expected to descend on the twin towns of Killaloe and Ballina this weekend for celebrations that have been 1,000 years in the making.

The Brian Boru Millennium weekend remembers the former High King of Ireland who ruled from the town, up until his death in the Battle of Clontarf in April 1014.
