Listened to Michael Laffin talk on Irish nationalism.
My history teacher told me when I met him a few years after I left school that this was largely airbrushed out of the school books. Any leaning by a history teacher on the good points of Irish nationalism was sure to get a repremand.

The fund is now at 8410€
The cost of the statue is going to increase by 25% as it is proposed to get it in Wales instead of the original price in England.
