EDITORS COMMENTS
Standing tall at the north end of O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland, the Parnell Memorial is a poignant tribute to the life and legacy of Charles Stewart Parnell, one of Ireland's most iconic leaders. The foundation stone was laid in 1899, marking the beginning of a long journey towards its completion. Years of tireless fundraising efforts ensued, with appeals made to the Irish diaspora in the United States among others. Finally, on October 1st, 1911, the monument was unveiled to great fanfare.
The stunning sculpture was crafted by renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens, whose masterful work brings Parnell's likeness to life. The memorial stands as a testament to Parnell's unwavering dedication to Irish independence and his unshakeable commitment to social justice. As you gaze upon this magnificent structure, remember the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for Ireland's freedom and self-determination.
