Oval plaque: I ndíl - chuimhne / orthu siúd a fuair bás / ar son na saoirse / Ground plaque: 1916 - 1923 Sculpture / Athmhuinteardas / Reconciliation forms the basis for this sculpture. The granite table represents the historic division of the people of Ireland. It is supported by columns representing the four provinces. The inset sword spans both sides of that divide. This divide is bridged at each end by bronze hand-clasps, that unify both parts. Six granite seats symbolise the baronies of County Sligo. Tireragh Carbury Leyney Corran Coolavin Tirerrill [order as laid out, partly read] All are organised within the circle, symbolising - Life-Community-Freedom. The standing stone symbolises our alignment to the past. The trees in the grass island symbolise the growth of our Nationhood. / Fred Conlon, Sculptor / April 2000 / Commissioned by 1916 - 1923 Memorial Committee on behalf of the people of County Sligo [some words under leaves]
