Seán Ó Luanaigh (Craobh na nÁirne & Muckross House) is organising an event to commemorate the change in name of Henn Street to Plunkett Street in 1966. The event will take place at 12 midday on Saturday, December 31st at the Killarney Outlet Centre. Joseph Plunkett was a poet and a signatory of the 1916 Proclamation and he is also remembered in the song 'Grace' as he married his fiance Grace Gifford in the chapel in old Kilmainham Jail hours before being executed in May 1916. More details to follow. Kind Regards, Conor Doolan
