ICA news: Clare federation honours great heroes of Ireland’s 1916 Rising
On the last Sunday in April, a granite commemorative plaque honouring the deeds and sacrifices of those who died in 1916 – and commissioned by Corofin Guild – was unveiled in the local church grounds.
The gesture marked what happened 100 years earlier to the day, when a group of Volunteers of the Corofin and District Mid-Western Brigade assembled at Lake Inchiquin and Whitemount and prepared to follow their leaders in the fight for Irish freedom.
