 Mallow, Co. Cork | The Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association Was founded in this hotel On 30 June, 2001 This monument was unveiled In honour of the founders By Sean McCague, President, G.A.A. On 30 June 2001 In the centenary year With apologies for my poor translation |
I was in Mallow recently and a few thoughts came to mind when I
spotted the plaque:
- If the site is redeveloped, and it is not a hotel, will the wording on the plaque need to change similar to Examiner building.
- The large screen printed signs are a lasting memory to the Celtic Tiger years – hiding buildings that have fallen into dereliction. I suspect that they will be around for some years to come.
- The historic link was insufficient to protect the enterprise from the changing public expectation of hotels.
