Co Wexford Memorial to IRA Terrorists

Enniscorthy Town Council in Co Wexford, Republic of Ireland has decided to approve a memorial on a public site in the town to honour IRA terrorists who died on their way to plant a bomb in Northern Ireland.

The memorial was unanimously agreed by the councillors following a request from an organisation called Coiste Cáirde na Laochra. The memorial will be erected “in remembrance of those who played their part in the struggle for Irish freedom”. The reality is that they were on their way to cause murder and mayhem in part of the UK.

If any council in the UK approved a memorial for a Loyalist group who had tried to bomb somewhere in the Republic of Ireland, it would be major news. The UK Government should make a formal complaint to the Government of the RoI and ask that Enniscorthy Town Council reverse this disgraceful decision to support terrorist murderers.
