Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This monument was formerly the memorial to Viscount John Charles Henry FitzGibbon, grandson of John 'Black Jack' FitzGibbon, the First Earl of Clare and the Irish Lord Chancellor at the time of the 1798 Rebellion. The monument was originally intended to be site on The Crescent but with political, historical and religious sentiments running high, the site was changed to Sarsfield Bridge. The site at The Crescent was given over, instead, to a new monument for Daniel O'Connell. The Vicount had died in the Battle of Balaclava in 1854. He stood in uniform on the stone plinth decorated with the names of those who fell in the Crimean War. It was erected in 1857 and blown up by the IRA on 9th June 1930, leaving only the podium intact. FitzGibbon's statue was cast by the sculptor Patrick MacDowell (1799-1870). It was replaced by the bronze group. One of the original stone plaques was overlain by a bronze plaque which recorded in Irish the names and event of the 1916 Rising. Another plaque reads: 'This memorial was erected by means of voluntary public subscriptions in memory of the Limerick men and their comrades who died for --- during the Easter Rising of 1916'. It has added significance as the local woman, Kathleen Daly, was married to Thomas Clarke, a leader of the Easter Rebellion. Its location on the Sarsfield Bridge adds to the overall historic setting of the sculpture. |
