First CABHAIR Christmas day swim held in 1976 !

The annual sponsored swim to raise funds for the family and dependants of Irish Republican prisoners will , as usual , be held on Christmas day (Tuesday 25 December 2007) .

Early CABHAIR swimmers , circa 1976....

On Christmas day next at 12 noon , sponsored swimmers will , once again , swim at least two widths each of the Grand Canal at Inchicore , Dublin , in an event which has been held since 1976 !

The swim will take place beside the bridge opposite the Blackhorse Inn (Kellys) Pub , and is organised by CABHAIR , the Irish Republican prisoners dependants fund organisation : music , fire , food and drink will be supplied by the organisers and all are welcome !

Thank You ,

Sharon .
