Tom Clarke Memorial Committee
Set up to plan and erect a suitable memorial in Dublin to Tom Clarke, First President of the Provisional Government 1916 and one of 16 men to be executed after that rebellion. To date, the Committee has held a seminar in Dublin’s City Hall on Tom Clarke’s life and legacy, and has succeeded in having the East Link Toll Bridge renamed “The Tom Clarke Bridge” which was was formally so named by President Michael D. Higgins on May 3, 2016, the 100th anniversary of Tom’s execution.
In addition, a splendid site for a statue has been identified, and we are currently waiting for approval of this from the various authorities before proceeding with the statue itself.
Coiste Cuimhneacháin Tomás Ó Cléirigh
B’é Tomás Ó Cléirigh an chéad Uachtarán de’n Rialtas Sealadach1916 agus freisin dhuine den seisir déag a chuireadh chun bháis tar éis an Eirí Amach. De bharr sin tá sé ina aidhm ag an Cumann dealbh a thógaint ina onóir. Go dtí seo bhí seiminéar i Halla na Cathrach at a saol. Freisin d’éirigh linn tolla-droichead thar an Life a ath-ainmniú ina onóir. B’é an t- Uachtarán Micheál Ó h-Uiginn a dhein é seo ar an 3ú lá Bealtaine 2016. Ba sin comóradh an chéad don lá a básíodh é fé láimhe na Sasanaigh.
Tá suíomh iontach ar intinn againn agus táimíd ag feitheamh le chead ó na hUdaráisi éagsúla chun an dealbh a chur i láthair.
