Submissions sought for monument to honour Daniel O’Connell

Submissions are being invited for a public monument to the Liberator, Daniel O’Connell, in his native Cahersiveen — the first such monument in the south Kerry town centre.

Local development agency ACARD is the project promoter and the memorial will be located on a prime street front position.

It is planned to locate it outside the Daniel O’Connell Memorial Church, the only church in Christendom to be named after a lay person.
