| 説明 | Across the road from Phibsboro Library, Blackquire Bridge, North Circular Road stands a monument with a soldier prepared for battle. He represents those members of the Dublin Brigade of the Irish Volunteers who fought and died during the Easter Rising (1916) and the War of Independence (1919–21).The limestone monument is by Leo Broe (1899–1966) who himself had been a member of the Volunteers. It was unveiled on 19 February 1939.Beneath the soldier are scenes from Irish mythology and ancient Irish history: the arrival of the Milesians (the first inhabitants of Ireland), Cuchulainn fighting at the ford, and the death of King Brian Boru at Clontarf in 1014.The monument was vandalised in the 1970s and the soldier’s rifle was taken. It was fully restored by Dublin City Council in 1991.The monument is within a mini-park from which public access is denied which is a pity but I assume that is because of the monument having been vandalised many years ago. |
