Monument in Kildare, County Kildare

What is recorded here

The Monument in Kildare has shamrocks worked into its iron railings. A plain fence would have settled for knowing your business; this one wants your granny’s maiden name and what part of Roscommon.

Freestanding cut-limestone Celtic High Cross-style monument, erected 1935, on inscribed pedestal on inscribed stepped base. Set on wedge-shaped site with shamrock-detailed wrought iron railings to perimeter.

A monument 'erected by Local Committee' commemorating seven men executed (1922) at the Curragh Camp during the Civil War (1922-3): Patrick Bagnall of Fairgreen, Kildare; Stephen White of Abbey Street, Kildare; Jackie Johnston of Station Road, Kildare; Patrick Nolan of Rathbride; Patrick Mangan of Fairgreen, Kildare; Brian Moore of Rathbride; and James Connor of Bansha, County Tipperary.
