Sunday 3rd April 2016

An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny TD, will unveil the initial phase of the Necrology Wall at a ceremony in Glasnevin Cemetery on Sunday, April 3rd 2016. 

The essence of a Necrology Wall is remembrance, based on historical fact, in a non-judgemental, non-hierarchical manner, of each and every person who died as a result of a conflict.
