    Default Unveiling of new O'Donovan Rossa monument

    Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, Sunday 9th September 2012.

    Unveiling of new O'Donovan Rossa monument will be preceded by a tour of republican graves with historian and author Ray Bateson. This tour will commence at main gates at 11.00 sharp (not 11.15 as previously stated).

    We encourage all our friends to bring along as many friends, family, etc... as possible. Everybody welcome.
    More good work by the NGA, might head along to this myself.

    It was a very plain grave before. This photo was after renovation, whatever that involved, in 1990.

    Bertie used and abused this man's name by collecting more brown envelopes than An Post by attaching his name to the local Cumann, straight gangsta bank more like, the mafia who needed a political cause to make the money.
