West Cork to honour 1916 heroes

Some are household names, others have been overlooked but a move is on to honour, as a group, all those from the West Cork region who fought in Dublin during the Easter Rising.

Cork County Council is examining the possibility of erecting a memorial to 10 men from the region who were involved in the uprising in the capital.

Councillors have said a memorial garden near the model railway village station in Clonakilty may be an appropriate location.
