My grandfather, who fought in Church Street, was a Captain in the 4th Battalion (Rathfarnham Coy) throughout the War of Independence and the last Commandant of the Battalion (pro-treaty) from March 1922. He founded the first Old Comrades Association in 1924, for the members of the pre-truce 4th Battalion, they had premises at 14 Thomas Street, Dublin, which were named Áras Ceannt.

The citizens of Galway and her visitors have a right to know about the incredible man and native son, after who the City's Bus/Train Station is named. Whether someone agrees with 1916 or not, Éamonn Ceannt was a great musician, a standard bearer in the Gaelic revival and a man who was prepared to lay down his life for his beliefs. How many of us would be prepared to do that now?

Belief in recognition of those who sacrificed their lives and are part of our nation story, our heritage.
