Description

Good shot of the Parnell Monument at the junction of Upper O'Connell Street, Parnell Street and Cavendish Row, Dublin. The ornate bollards are no longer to be seen. Does anyone know what they were? And note the lovely old creamy-coloured telephone box.

The text on the Monument is from a passionate speech in support of Home Rule for Ireland that Charles Stewart Parnell gave in Cork on 21 January 1885: "... No man has the right to fix the boundary of a nation. No man has the right to say to his country, "Thus far shalt thou go and no further", and we have never attempted to fix the "ne plus ultra" to the progress of Ireland’s nationhood, and we never shall."

Date: Circa 1969
