There are statues at the back of the Customs House in Dublin. Does anyone know what they commemorate? I found a webpage recently, but didn't pay much attention at the time. It is after these that Memorial Road is named.Last edited by Victor; 15 February 2008, 00:42.Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

And finally a VC Recipient.
Frederick Daniel Parslow was Master of the SS Anglo Californian, and was comissioned poshumously so he would be eligible for the VC, which was awarded in 1919.
On 4 July 1915 in the Atlantic, south-west of Queenstown, Ireland, HM Horse Transport Anglo-Californian, commanded by Captain Parslow, was attacked by a submarine which made occasional hits although the Captain kept altering course. At last, on the point of abandoning ship in order to save lives, a message was received to hold on as long as possible and Anglo-Californian got under way again, whereupon the U-boat opened a very heavy fire, doing great damage. Captain Parslow remained on the bridge throughout the attack, entirely without protection and was killed when the bridge was wrecked. His son, also Frederick Parslow, was the Mate, and took command on the demise of his father. The son was given a commission as Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Reserve, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
He is one of five VC recipients buried in County Cork.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
