The Lucan Memorial Campaign

Leixlip History Club

Leixlip History Club talk on Thursday,  September 19th is by Jonathan Cully on The Lucan Memorial Campaign – A project to commemorate Lucan people lost to conflict.

The Lucan Memorial Campaign was established by Jonathan Cully to commemorate Lucanian’s who lost their lives through conflict, military, or police service. The long-term goal of the project is to promote awareness of those recorded, and to advocate for a permanent local memorial. In the short-term, the project aims to fulfill this aim as a temporary “pop-up” memorial at local events. The project aims to universally remember the history and stories of the people who were born in, have lived in, or who are buried in Lucan. It is hoped that this project will build local support and discussion around a permanent memorial in the village of Lucan, which is central and accessible to all, for reflection on those who were lost to conflict and police service, and the historical events in which they were involved.
