Kathleen Cait Murphy, originally from Kinsale, was a nurse in New York City for over 30 years. While in New York, she came to admire the firemen of the city and was shocked at the deaths of 343 of their number who died in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
She was still a land owner in Ringfinnan, just south west of Kinsale and decided to provide a memorial in the form of a garden, with a tree for each fireman who died in the line of duty that day. There were 343 in total and each tree now bears a small sign naming one of the 343 firemen. Since the garden was planted, many relatives of the dead have visited as have many of those wounded on the day and some of the trees have personal items such as t-shirts or photographs on their branches or at their base.
