asked the Minister for Defence if he will state what progress has been made in regard to the proposed memorial to the executed 1916 leaders at Arbour Hill; further, whether it is proposed, in the meantime, to mark the grave with a simple slab giving the names of the executed men.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Arbour Hill Memorial.
Plans for a memorial scheme at Arbour Hill Detention Barracks, to commemorate the 1916 leaders who are buried in the prison yard, have been prepared. I am having them examined, and I propose to submit them to the Government for consideration when I have the examination completed. Pending the consideration of the general scheme, it is not proposed to proceed with the marking of the graves.
