A monument to the residents and survivors of abuse at Ireland’s second largest industrial school has been erected in Glin in Co Limerick.
The move marks the resolution of a long-running dispute between the town’s development association and survivors’ representatives.
In a statement, leaders of the project which commissioned the sculpture, say they hope to bring past pupils to the town later this year for an unveiling ceremony.
Plans for a reunion there two years ago were abandoned after the dispute began.
The statement, the Glin Project said the monument to St Joseph’s Industrial School had been set in place for the town’s Heritage Park “with the support and goodwill of the vast majority of local people”.
