Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Government Plans for Commemorative Events 2020-23: Discussion

Ms Róisín O'Grady:

We are very much aware of the monuments and we are engaging with communities. Most of these monuments would hold pride of place in communities and we often find that a committee looks after each one. There are some very active committees around the county that look after ten or 12 monuments. Where possible, the local authority would provide a little bit of support. In the lead-up to the Soloheadbeg event, there was much work done by the Tipperary municipal district in making the monument presentable. It is a challenge that needs resources.
