On 5th Feb 2010 Donal Bolton from Geashill, Co. Offaly, Ireland was tragically killed while sitting in a park area with his girlfriend Justine Walsh in Cairns, Australia. The family of Donal along with Justine travelled to Cairns in March 2011 and placed a small memorial plaque of Donal at the place where he lost his life. Sadly this plaque has been removed and has added greatly to these peoples grief. Cairns city council have stated it is unlikely a new plaque will be allowed put up in the area. I would like to ask you to sign this petition to help Justine and the Bolton family in their fight to have what is just a small memorial plaque re-erected in the place Don tragically lost his life.

I am saddened by the behaviour of Cairns Regional Council regarding the family's wishes to have a memorial to Donal Bolton placed in City Place. But we will continue to lobby for this until it has been achieved.

LET THE PLAQUE STAY. This is just cruel to the family.

The council is being heartless. It is such a small thing to ask and it would mean everything to his family.

Bring it back. They deserve to have a place to remember him.

Absolute disgrace. Why cant the council just show a little bit of humanity for once?

Such a shame for the family to have to deal with this on top of their loss. Shame on the council.

Donal and his family deserve a plaque.
