Comments: |
A Bronze commemorative sculpture, set in granite paving stones, will be dedicated to the victims on Friday, 23 July 2004 at 11.00 am by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr. Michael Conaghan. An address will also be given by the Chairman of CIE, Dr. John Lynch in recognition of the fact that all three young men were employees of CIE. A community service led by Rev. Terence McCaughey and Fr. Tom Clowe will follow, with the CIE Male Voice Choir. Wreaths will be laid by the families and by Justice for the Forgotten. The sculpture has been designed by Tom Duffy, son of Tommy Duffy, one of the victims of the Dec. 1972 bombing. |
