DEATH COMMEMORATIONS


In April, 2013, I noted flowers at the commemorative plaque to Dylan Stark on Kent Road/Pearse Road, close to Musgrave Park.

These are definitely signs to be read so I thought that a section of the website listing those that I have come across would be appropriate - as well as contemplative.

IrishRoadside.com had details of many such plaques around the country, but has since become unavailable



Photographs and details of memorials, generally on roadside or paths, that I have taken around Ireland (and maybe a few beyond)

Most are the result of traffic accidents.


Clicking on name should link to photographs
