A chara, - It would appear that the National Graves' Association has at last convinced the Government that a bus park would not be a fitting tribute to the men of 1798 buried in the Croppy Acre in Dublin (the field facing Collins Barracks).We are pleased to inform your readers that construction of a memorial park is due to begin early in 1998.The association, while welcoming this change of mind brought about by our campaign, will remain very vigilant. Can I thank all who helped us in our campaign and also your newspaper for all the publicity relating to this matter. - Yours, etc.,Matt Doyle,Secretary,National Graves' Association,Ireland,Dame Street,Dublin 2.
