SUMMARY:Talk | The Forgotten Defenders - Tom Cassidy at Askeaton Community 
 Hall
DESCRIPTION:Part of Askeaton’s WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 2026.\n\nJoin
  Tom Cassidy of Fola Archaeology and Heritage Services for an illustrated 
 talk on the life and history of the Second World War in West Limerick.\n\n
 For many years\, Tom has researched pillboxes in the Askeaton hinterland. 
 Small defence structures made from mass concrete found throughout the area
 \, pillboxes were built in the 1940s as guard posts\, allowing Irish soldi
 ers to watch over strategic positions in the event of military invasion on
  the Shannon Estuary.\n\nIn light of current debates about Ireland’s neu
 trality\, these structures remain as a poignant reminder of the threat and
  pervasiveness of war today.
