The Miami Showband Memorial on North Parnell Square, Dublin, commemorates the three musicians murdered in the 1975 massacre by the UVF. The monument is set to be relocated as part of the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter redevelopment, a major project by Dublin City Council involving a new City Library and public plaza. This article explores the history of the tragedy, the design of the current memorial, and the planning reasons necessitating its move.
