Congratulations.
This would be great if the former Rugby Museum in Limerick was taken over by the National Museum and then made a dedicated Women's Museum. Space would also be needed to for a research facility to compliment the proposed Museum

I am hoping they still exist in private collections or uncatalogued collections in Ireland and in Irish communities across the world.
I am still looking for the public's help as I complete this project. I am particularly interested in finding diaries and letters written at the time of the fire. Even if they don't directly reference the fire, they are still of use. It's likely that these letters still exists in drawers, boxes etc
