Arthur Muffeny Memorial Unveiling – Saturday, April 30

inEvents

Arthur Muffeny was one of Ballina’s greatest campaigners, businessmen, philanthropists, industrialists and humanitarians, and was known as a champion of the poor and destitute.

A Land League campaigner and friend of Charles Stewart Parnell and Michael Davitt, Arthur was vociferous in his opposition of landlordism and evictions, serving two prison terms for same.

The story of Arthur Muffeny – a man with a big heart and a brave spirit is not commonly known in Ballina, but that is about to change, as the town honours its past as part of the Ballina 2023 celebrations.

A permanent plaque will  be unveiled in Arthur’s honour by the recently formed Arthur Muffeny Commemoration Committee on Sunday, April 30 at 5pm at his former residence at the corner of Pearse Street and Tolan St .(formerly Tyler’s Corner) .

A book, “Ballina’s Forgotten Hero”, co-written by two of Arthur Muffeny’s great grandchildren, Yvonne Ahearn-Kevany and Colum MacDonnell will also be launched on the day.
