Plan to honour dead of world wars

A FINE GAEL TD has launched an initiative to commission a memorial in his constituency to those who served in the first and second world wars.

John Deasy is heading up a memorial committee which is dedicated to financing and erecting an appropriate memorial to Waterford men and women who participated in the two conflicts.

The aim is to have the memorial ready in time for 2014 – the anniversary of the start of the Great War.
