Tribute planned for Irish veterans who fought abroad

A museum is to be built in Cork to recognise the achievements of Irish people who fought with foreign armies.

The project envisages exhibits of full-size helicopters, including the iconic Hueys which were used in Vietnam.

The fledgling organisation Irish Veterans (IV), has acquired hundreds of members from the US and is also signing up Irish people who fought with the French Foreign Legion, and Canadian, British, Australian, and New Zealand militaries.
