Temporary plaques were placed round the town of Cahir last night to mark the contributions made by women to the area over the centuries.
The operation was carried out by the Daughters of Dún Iascaigh, dressed in Cumann na mBan uniforms and other costumes of the period, with the support of Cahir Social and Historical Society and Tipperary County Council, for International Women s Day.
The 24 plaques feature the work of artist Alice Maher, a native of Cahir, and celebrate a number of local women as part of the Tipperary Commemorations programme.
