The recently unveiled Nationalist Memorial Cross, a striking addition to the landscape of Rathkeale, gracing the grounds of St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, is presently in need of financial support. Mr William Hayes, the treasurer entrusted with overseeing the funds, is earnestly calling upon all those who have pledged their contributions to honour their commitment by promptly sending in their donations.
The significance of supporting this memorial cannot be overstated, as it stands as a testament to the values and heritage held dear by the community. Its existence is a source of pride and serves as a poignant symbol of remembrance.
In order to defray the costs associated with this noble endeavour, it is proposed that musical concerts be organised in Rathkeale and Newcastle West. Furthermore, it is hoped that the Gaelic Societies and the Young Ireland Society in Limerick may find it within their means to extend their valuable assistance towards this cause.
In conclusion, the sustained support and financial contributions from the community are of utmost importance to ensure that the Nationalist Memorial Cross continues to be a beacon of pride and a living testament to the shared history of the region, resonating with generations to come.
