This is second hand information so I hope everything here is correct. But I thought it was important to note that someone from Tyrone Country was being formally recognized for his accomplishments.
Tentative date for the ceremony at the Community Center in Newtownstewart is Sat 9th of November. An explanation of the Blue Plaque administration for those of us that are new to this. (from Wikipedia) The Ulster History Circle is a heritage organisation that administers Blue Plaques for the area that encompasses the province of Ulster on the island of Ireland. It is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation, placing commemorative plaques in public places in honour of people and locations that have contributed to all genres of history within the boundary of the Irish province of Ulster, or contemporary country of Northern Ireland. Founded in the early 1980s, the group receives no government funding, unlike many similar organisations in the United Kingdom. There have been over 150 recipients of the Blue Plaques in Ulster including: Samuel Beckett (playwright) John Boyd Dunlop (tyre inventor) C. S. Lewis (author)
