Michael Collins Statue unveiling in Cork

This momentous event was graced by the presence of Cork icons Ronan O’Gara, Jimmy Barry Murphy and Rena Buckley, who had the honor of officially revealing the statue at the very spot where Collins delivered one of his most iconic public speeches.

The event was further enriched by the attendance of members from the Collins family and the dedicated Michael Collins 100 committee, the driving force behind this initiative.
