In 2015 my local town erected a sculpture to commemorate the event. Maybe that's why the story is fresh in Irish memory.

Seeing the donations coming in (and making one myself) I was reminded that this sculpture is the reason I know about the event in the first place and, saw the significance of the help, and felt moved to donate. It made me think a lot about how public art and the things we commemorate with public art can have a tangible impact on our actions and our beliefs.
