The Irish Starveling's Memorials
Lisnabinnia. On Ballyglass/Kilcooley mering wall. Installed after Flanagan sisters verified location in a field once theirs. Their father had hit the remains with his plow about 1910 when Ireland was returned to the Irish. He stopped and never again plowed that ideally-friable field. Current owner OK'd installation. |
Robinstown, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. On north bank of Royal Canal. Initiated twenty-three years ago. Anonymous locals facilitated site ingress and installed concrete base. Westmeath Examiner and Midland Topic newspapers editorialized against. Unavailingly called for Co. Co. to remove memorial. Public support silenced the newspapers.
