Recent Visitor to the museum

We were delighted to have a lovely visitor to the museum recently. Alice O'Byrne from Waterford Road, Kilkenny called in to us to make a donation.
She donated two beautiful medals to the museum. They were medals awarded to Edmond O'Connor, Millstreet, Modeligo, who died on March 28, 1971.
One of the medals is  from 1939-1946. It is a Cósanta Aitiúil medal with ribbon. The other medal is a Cogadh na Saoirse medal with ribbon.

We gratefully accepted the medals and they have been catalogued and added to our archive and will be available for future generations to enjoy.

Thank you Alice for your donation.
