There was a good exhibition launch at the Museum of Orange Heritage last night, sponsored by the @ArinsProject, of the history of the Protestant Associations of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan.

The exhibition will go to the White House in Newtownabbey on 2 March with a talk at 7pm.

@Seananocoistin @ArinsProject Hi @Seananocoistin, these refer to those that were Protestant by faith. Whilst the Protestant Associations originally came from the Unionist Associations of the border counties, they became ‘Protestant’ afterwards to reflect change after partition and rally all political opinions

[Samuel Beckton @BecktonSamuel]

The launch of the Protestant Association exhibition at the Monaghan Peace Campus, went great today, thanks in part to the Monaghan County Museum and funding from the @ArinsProject. We had approximately 70 people attend the launch, along with former Minister Heather Humphreys

@Pmacgiollabhain @Pmacgiollabhain thank you for your comments, I wanted to write a book during the centenary of the Irish Boundary Commission. But I wanted to show how the border affected everyone, Unionists and Nationalists. It was a tough exercise and would be interested in your thoughts.

[Samuel Beckton @BecktonSamuel]

@milnem @ArinsProject @cavanmuseum It’s not a problem, I’ll hopefully meet up with you at another event in the new year!

[Samuel Beckton @BecktonSamuel]

A great exhibition launch this month at Cavan County Museum, which is supported by the ARINS Project.

I look forward to the next phase of the exhibition series into the new year.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a Happy New Year!
