CON COLBERT MEMORIAL HALL
LIMERICK’S executed 1916 leader Con Colbert is to be honoured by the building of a cultural centre in Athea, County Limerick, where Colbert spent his early days before moving to Dublin.
A committee under Mr. Timothy Wolfe, with Sergeant John Mc Cormack as hon. treasurer has received the final plans for the building from Mr. Thomas Sheehan, architect. Limerick.
The memorial hall resembles a modern American structure in miniature and will cost £18.000. Mr. Wolfe said that it would be used for cultural purposes for all sections of the community.
“There will be no question of dances, as all too many halls in this country become nothing but dance halls after a short time. We intend to have a library, reading room, place for lectures and theatre,” he said Sergeant McCormack said that they already had about £4,000 and they were hopeful of getting an amenity grant from the Limerick County Council and contributions from Limerick exiles in Britain and the U.S. The ground which is in the centre of the village has been given free by members of the Colbert family.
