On the 14th of October 2020 a memorial was held for William O Connell on the Phibsborough road in Dublin. William was shot on that date and a bronze plaque was erected to remember his death. This plaque was commissioned by the Cabra Historical Society. Mary Lou McDonald had some words to say at the memorial. Watch the video below for further information on the bronze plaque by sculptor Michael C Keane.

Here is an excerpt that Cabra Historical Society posted on Facebook for the unveiling:
