Assassination of Kevin O'Higgins at Bootersown.

1968 · 2010-11-18 17:34:38

Is there any plaque or other sign to mark the point where Kevin O'Higgins was shot dead by the IRA on 10 July 1927? I believe it happened at the junction of Booterstown and Cross Avenue.

Ended up writing two articles on the event:

The Assassination of Kevin O’Higgins (1927)

and

Kevin O’Higgins’ killers; their backgrounds and lives after.
