    Magnifica!
  • heady school said:
    So much nicer without the railings. Isn't the statue in Australia now?
  • derangedlemur said:
    Is it a boer war memorial or is there just a sleepy soldier under it for fun?
  • derangedlemur said:
    And speaking of fun, there should be bronze knockers on the doors to facilitate our senses of humour.
  • Martin Devlin said:
    Bronz Knockers indeed ! we are getting ideas above ones station. We only had Brass Knockers in Dublin, the bronze ones were right clangers.

    Parke was born in 1857 at Clogher House[2] in Kilmore, County Roscommon, Ireland, and was brought up in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim. He graduated from the College of Surgeons in Dublin and was appointed to a post in Ballybay, County Monaghan. In 1881 he joined the British Army and served in Egypt[1] as a surgeon. Parke fought to Khartoum in relief of General Gordon in 1885 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Heazle_Parke
  • DannyM8 said:
    Parke campaigned with Henry Morton Stanley on the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. This expedition lasted three years and many were saved from death by Parke's courage and medical skills. He was known as the ' man who had saved Stanley'.[3] He thus became the first Irishman to cross the African continent. During the expedition Parke bought a pygmy girl. They travelled together for over a year and she nursed him through malaria. In the end he was forced to leave her behind because her eyes could not adapt to sunlight after the darkness of the forest. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Heazle_Parke

Mr John McCormack placing a wreath on the cenotaph erected to the memory of the late Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith at Leinster Lawn

    Considering it was dismantled in 1939 (by DeValera), I certainly never saw it! It was replaced in 1950.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The DIA records it as G.A. designer of temporary cenotaph erected in memory of Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, 1923
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Archiseek has more info on it and Atkinson: Atkinson was headmaster of the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, 1918-1937, and first director of the National College of Art.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Ha ha! Anne Dolan's book "Commemorating the Irish Civil War" has a section on it titled "The elephant on Leinster Lawn", and says some labelled it "the dire apparition of the Griffith-Collins singularity", so I guess it was not universally popular!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    You can't tell from this photo, but there is a forty foot celtic cross in the middle.
