Dear Fellow Irishmen and Women,

In the annals of history, there are those whose remarkable contributions remain hidden, but they played pivotal roles in shaping the course of nations. Today, we invite you to join us in signing a petition to commemorate Nora and Sheila Wallace, two extraordinary Irish women whose actions during the Irish War of Independence deserve recognition and remembrance.

St. Augustine Street in Cork City holds historical and cultural significance as it was the location of the Wallace sisters' newspaper shop, which also served as the Intelligence Headquarters of the Cork City Brigade of the Irish Republican Army during the War of Independence. Today, this shop remains abandoned, with no recognition of its vital role in Irish history.

Cork City boasts plaques honoring lesser-known figures who made smaller contributions to the city's heritage. The installation of a commemorative plaque for Nora and Sheila Wallace will not only honor these two remarkable women but also inspire future generations to acknowledge the lesser-known heroes who shaped history. It will stand as a testament to their bravery and inspire young Cork girls to follow in the footsteps of these revolutionary female heroes.

If you feel a connection to this cause and wish to support the petition for a plaque in honor of these two remarkable women in Cork, please sign our petition now. Once we gather 1000 signatures or more, we will present this petition to the Lord Mayor of Cork City. No donations are needed; your signature on Change.org is all that's required to help.
