FI spotted this plaque in Cobh recently and thought that it was another example of tenuous connection with historical record. His visits to Cobh are unlikely to figure highly in the deeds and actions of James Connolly’s Book of Life but streets have been names (or renamed) after visiting dignitaries and there are very many plaques recording what would arguably be of lesser historic merit – so why not record this riot. Cobh should be proud of its plaques and informative boards/trails – definitely keeps the visitor engaged. | James Connolly |
