Fundraiser for Statue Of Michael Collins in Patrick’s Street

[Caincoat and Scarf]

This tread is going off on a tangent.
Discussions on the war of independence seems to be taken over the topic.
The purpose of the thread is the erection of a giant statue of the man with a bicycle at the end of it.
A lot of issues such as planning permission
the amount raised
the spending of the money
the payment to the sculptor
the committee expenses
the registration of the fund for Revenue purposes
Arrangements for an audit
Publication of the accounts


There is is a lot there which needs to be addressed.

Hi Dafy. All of the above list will I'm sure be detailed in due course. I will review when they are available.
Just a bit of advice to the committee.
In view of very little money raised to date I am sure the committee will keep their costs to a minimum.
Committee members coming from Macroom direction could use the bus service to come to meeting in the city.
If the bus service for this area is good enough for people like the Eggman then it should be good enough for the committee members.

Because there are laws in the country.
Law breakers are prosecuted to maintain order and law in society otherwise we would have chaos.
( I should add that sometimes laws are suspended in the case of murders carried out in the case of the greater cause for a united Ireland)

Indeed there ARE laws in the country, including GDPR laws. So I'll ask you again, why on earth would anyone here have the PPS number for members of that committee, and even if they did why would they divulge such information to you???????

It is a case of being a good citizen. I was trying to ensure that the committee sent all relevant details to the Registrar. I hope this clarifies the issue and apologize for not replying sooner.
Regarding the fund raising it still stands at 10165€>
I hope and bill incurred by anyone to date will be paid.

Tommy GORMAN said at Beal na Blast and I quote from a snippet in the Irish News that "collective energy is needed to deal with the challenges of a post Brexit Ireland "
Profound words indeed and he said that Collins was a pragmatist . What was he saying I asked someone who attended and they reckoned that most people hadn't a clue what he was saying but it was important that they had a speaker at the event.
These events are just a meet up and an evening out for misguided individuals who are delusional about Collins and are in denial about his deed at organising shooting of government officials at the time.

You are ploughing a lonely furrow on this Dafty but keep up the good work. The committee in the end will see the errors in their ways .
