I have not been able to find reference to this Tom Barry in Wikipedia or on internet searches so will need to revert to the printed pages.
The monument reminded me once again as to the oft-used connection between church and freedom of the state.
I expect that it would not be constructed on church grounds now but I do find the link discomforting – should a church remain independent of such strife?
This memorial is erected by his grateful countrymen
