It adds: “The grounds of City Hall currently display 18 separate memorials, therefore setting a precedent for similar works. The proposed works will preserve and complement the listed building’s features of special architectural or historical importance, to ensure the existing building remains intact and unimpaired.
Together they both worked for conditions of factory women in Belfast, and later Carney joined Cumann Na mBan, the women’s auxiliary of the Irish Volunteers. She was present with Connolly in the Dublin General Post Office during the Easter Rising in 1916. She managed a successful muslin business in Belfast, led the Women's Abolitionary Committee in Belfast during the height of the anti slavery movement, formed the Ladies Committee of the Belfast Charitable Movement, and was dedicated to the poor of the city from her youth.
