1916 Rising monument to be unveiled in Cork village

The Irish ambassador to Britain, Dan Mulhall, will officially unveil a monument in a North Cork village next Sunday to commemorate the 1916 Rising.

The monument, made of cut limestone, will be unveiled in Kildorrery village park as part of a number of events to commemorate the centenary.

It is the culmination of work which was started by a non-political local group, specially-formed last August for the occasion.
