    Mr French / Lawarence supplies a wider view earlier - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000322134

    Edit - He is holding a stick in his right hand.

    Looking through the survey photos on the NBHS (NIAH) site it appears Mr Boru is not there anymore.
    NLI needs a Missing Statue tag.

    O Mac As you wish!

    And you reminded me of this statue, so added Moving, rather than Missing Statue tag.

    “AI Overview The famous wooden carving at Celbridge Abbey in County Kildare, historically localized as the "Brian Boru Statue", is a rustic, weather-worn sculpture. It stands within the tranquil, historic grounds along the River Liffey that were famously associated with Jonathan Swift.
    Historically, this piece is an example of local folklore rather than an authentic depiction of the High King.
    It is one of a few scattered, traditional representations of Brian Boru found around Ireland”

    Still no news of his current whereabouts
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Has the statue succumbed to decay, being wooden, and no longer exists?

    "28 Donaghcumper House and Demesne ... The present house was remodelled in 1835 in the Tudor revival style. Tom Conolly of Castletown leased Donaghcumper in 1803 to extend the estate’s landscape across the river." www.discovercelbridge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Disc...

    Discover Celbridge page: From the avenue, another of Celbridge’s important houses can be seen: Donaghcumper, former residence of the Kirkpatrick family one of whom played a significant diplomatic role during World War II and its aftermath. I'm guessing they mean Ivone Kirkpatrick, British High Commissioner for Germany after WWII.
