I am absolutely delighted that after all these years we have finally paid tribute to Anna Parnell & the pioneering women of the Ladies’ Land League. It was a great honour to be part of this event. And it’s good to know that there are plans to commemorate other women activists. https://twitter.com/lordmayordublin/status/1439953383604072449

What an honour to unveil a plaque on O'Connell Street commemorating Anna Parnell-radical, feminist & founder of the Ladies' Land League on the 100th anniversary of her death. Thank you @DubCityCouncil Commemorations Committee, @MargaretWard1 & @Luighseach for their work on this.

#otd in 1911, just 7 people attended Anna Parnell's funeral after she drowned in North Devon. Today, the founder of the Ladies' Land League will be honoured with a plaque at the league's former hq. At last, the Irish Joan of Arc, as she was described, is visible. https://twitter.com/Luighseach/status/1439852336369766400
