Earlier this week, I spotted this plaque on the Bank of Ireland building on Paul Street – it is most definitely recently positioned or re-positioned.
Last year, I photographed all of the plaques I saw around Cork and uploaded them to this site. I have kept my eye open for any more since then.
Father Prout plaque is now in two pieces on a window cill inside St. Anne’s Shandon.
Daniel Maclise plaque is not listed in the Cork City Council Guide to Plaques – which does suggest that the plaque has been in storage for some time.
I do not know where the Daniel Maclise plaque may have been previously; when or why it was removed; but am fairly certain that it has only been erected in the Paul Street location for the past few weeks. Maybe it was removed to facilitate the extension to Bank of Ireland many years ago and only rediscovered in a drawer recently.
