Irish Minister Seán Haughey: 12/03/10 - Mr. Haughey express his gratitude to Mr. Mulvany for sending him copies of the documentary that we didn't in La Vitícola and Napostá for the 121 aniversary of the arrival of the immigrants to in February 2010. He says “Your recent trip to Argentina is the culmination of some great efforts on your part to remember the events surrounding the SS Dresden and the Irish Colony in Argentina in the late 1880s. I have found the material you provided very poignant. It is immediately apparent that these settlers have suffered greatly, many, including children, paying the ultimate price with their lives in this escapade.” He adds “no doubt this trip was very moving for you with the knowledge that some family members may have been buried in the La Vitícola area.” He finish saying that “it is entirely fitting that Fr. Eoghan as an Oblate should have blessed these paques given that another member of thesame Congragation, Fr. Gaughren, played such a central role in this venture. I will, of course, be happy to provide an update to him on your activities”. Thanks Mr. Seán Haughey for your interest on the SS Dresden case and for your encouraging words.
