Memorial to Denis Carey, from Loughnane in Templederry. Denis worked in McCurtains hardware store in Nenagh during the week and went home at the weekends. During the War of Independence, Denis was prominent in the administration of the IRA courts which were set up as an alternative to Crown proceedings. On the night of 26/11/1920, he was taken from his residence by three masked men and shot and dumped in Wolftone Terrace. Still alive, he was found and brought to a nearby house where a a priest and doctor were called for. Despite numerous entreaties he refused to name his assailants. He died later in Nenagh Workhouse Hospital of his wounds.
