English: The 1916 Memorial is dedicated to the Memory of those who died in the struggle for Irish freedom and Easter Rising of 1916, both those killed in action and the leaders executed in its aftermath.
The font of the Memorial contains a plaque inscribed with the 1916 Proclamation. Also inscribed on the Memorial are the names of the 16 men executed during May, 1916 and on the side panels are the names of others killed in action during the Rising. The bronze figures are Tom Clarke, Freeman of Limerick pointing to the Proclamation and on the pedestal are Edward Daly and Con Colbert depicted freeing Mother Eire represented by a young maiden from the shackles of oppression.
The 1916 memorial was designed by Albert Power, R.H.A., erected between 1931 and 1956 and was paid for by public subscription. It was unveiled in May 1956 by Leslie de Barra, wife of General Tom Barry and it occupies the site of an earlier monument erected in 1857 to John, Viscount Fitzgibbon, who died in the Battle of Balaclava (1854).Media in category "1916 Memorial"
