Stanley_C_Jenkins Posted 13 May , 2011 Share Posted 13 May , 2011 I seem to remember asking this question before, possibly on another forum, but there does not seem to have been a firm answer. Briefly, what happened to the 'Black & Tan' Memorial Tablet in Macroom Parish Church after the building ceased to be used for worship by the Church of Ireland? One suggestion is that it might have gone to one or other of the police museums? I think the building itself is used as a community centre (largely by members of another denomination).

corisande Posted 14 May , 2011 Share Posted 14 May , 2011 Stanley If you cannot get an answer to the question of the whereabouts of the memorial on this forum, you could try the Rootschat sub forum on Cork, where a local person ought to know the answer. If you are signed on for Rootschat, let me know and I will put a post there for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley_C_Jenkins Posted 16 May , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 May , 2011 What has the religion of the current users got do do with the location of the memorial plaque? Under normal circumstances, nothing whatsoever, but the circumstances surrounding the RIC Auxiliary Division and its role at Macroom were hardly normal.

Murrough Posted 18 May , 2011 Share Posted 18 May , 2011 Events are never normal during times of conflict but this is 90 years later.If you have any evidence of wrongdoing concerning the memorial plaque during recent renovations please bring it to the attention of the relevant authorities rather than making vague innsunations against a section of the community today.
