GLASNEVIN CEMETERY IS urging the family of a man who helped create the famous Jacob’s tricolour to participate in a ceremony celebrating his actions.
Thomas Meldon was one of the makers of the tricolour which was nailed to a flagpole above Jacob’s factory before being removed from its position on Sunday 30 April 1916, after the official surrender.
