The crew in Tramore were wonderful brave people who gave their lives so others would live, to this day I am so proud that I took the decision to cancel the Salthill Air Show due to take place that weekend in their memory. This crew should and I am sure will never be forgotten for their bravery. I don't know if many are aware that it was to have been the first appearance of the Red Arrows at Salthill that year, when I called them and told them we were cancelling the show due to the accident they were 100% behind us.

It was taken down and refurbished. Its construction from metal on a sea front doesn't lend itself to easy care.
It is totally in appropriate and reflects the times in which it was constructed as opposed to the men who died.
However, there is a more suitable , fitting memorial on the spot where the accident happened in the Sandhills about two miles from the promenade and it is the one where heli crews and family visit pay fitting tribute as opposed to the abortion on the promenade.
Take a walk down some time certainly a different feel to this area as opposed to the one on the promenade.
Hopefully I just didn't go far enough.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
