There is a record at the NIAH which agrees with the beachcombers source: occupied for just 10 years until burnt in 1642, after which the nuns moved to Athlone.

The building was featured in a full-page article in the Evening Herald (Dublin) Thursday 24 December 1992.
It also mentions the Streven family, on whose farm it stands, who had cleared the ivy and received many letters from nuns who had visited.
Last year. Poor Clare nuns from around the world visited the ivy -clad ruins in Co Westmeath when the order celebrated the 350th anniversary of the flight of the nuns who escaped to Galway by taking to boats on Lough Ree.

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 -

Has the statue succumbed to decay, being wooden, and no longer exists?
