Waterford’s Quaker heritage has been acknowledged in the official opening of the city’s Quaker memorial.

The memorial, funded by the local council, is on the site of the first Quaker Burial Ground in Waterford, in John’s Lane. Its official opening, two years after completion, was scheduled to coincide with Ireland’s National Heritage Week. The mayor of Waterford City and County, Lola O’Sullivan, formally opened the memorial.
