The Connolly Foundation has today launched a financial appeal to raise the £50,000 cost of the statue and a public campaign to build the necessary public and political support for the project. This will involve working with supporters across civic Scotland and consulting local residents and business in Edinburgh's Old Town. Speaking at the launch, on James Connolly's birthday, in Edinburgh's City Chambers The Connolly Foundation Chair, Jim Slaven, said "We are delighted to announce this partnership with Tom White. Erecting a statue to James Connolly in the city of his birth is a fantastic opportunity, not only to honor Connolly but also to acknowledge the contribution of the broader Irish community and other immigrant communities to the development of the city. Edinburgh has dozens of statues, mostly to individuals, such as royalty, who have made to positive contribution to Edinburgh. What Edinburgh does not have is monuments to immigrants or the working class. A statue to James Connolly in the city of his birth is long overdue." The Connolly Foundation is asking people to get involved in the campaign. For more information contact: statue@connollyfoundation.org |
