Dublin statues (and their nicknames)
There's a long tradition of giving nicknames to the statues around Dublin, and so we at Storymap decided to put together a little video with all of the nicknames we know of. Some are crude, some are very witty, and all show a healthy disrespect for the past. For Dublin stories visit storymap.ie

James Connolly and the struggle for Irish independence
In this talk from the 2018 Revolution Festival, Ben Curry of the Socialist Appeal editorial board discusses the life of James Connolly: the man, his ideas, and their relevance for Marxists today.
James Connolly was born in 1868 to Irish parents in Edinburgh’s Cowgate slum. He would grow to be the greatest Marxist ever produced by these islands; an iconic figure in the history of the Irish working class.
Executed by the British army in 1916 following his leading role in the Easter Rising, Connolly’s courage and sacrifice stand out as an inspiration to revolutionaries everywhere.
His ideas remain an important contribution to the Marxist understanding of national oppression and the struggle against it.
Nora Connolly
Nora Connolly O'Brien, James Connolly's daughter, founded the Belfast branch of Cumann na mBan. In this extraordinary interview, she talks about her memories of the lead up to the 1916 Rising, and cooking breakfast for the signatories of the 1916 proclamation.
She also speaks about the last time she and her mother saw her father before he was executed.

O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland - Dublin Attractions - A MUST VISIT Famous Street in Dublin
Anyone who has visited Dublin, Ireland, will have walked O'Connell Street - its the main street in the city and has been for many years - claiming its own place in history. Full of locals and tourists - O'Connell Street is often a bus stop for any sightseeing or people looking for a hotel for a weekend in Dublin.
Should we refer to O'Connell street as one of the main places that define the trip to Dublin? Actually, whether you are going out for a walk, jumping on the hop-on hop-off bus tour, or else trying to spot out the most famous magnificent places which you should visit in this city, you will end up stumbling upon O'Connell street for being an old famous one where one could enjoy shopping, go for a walk, or even enjoy some of the old statues for the famous figures which are placed there.
Before coming to the name O'Connell, this street has gone through two different times and dealt with two different names; it was first referred to as Drogheda Street and which was named after Henry Moore, Earl of Drogheda, until it was widened and renamed to Sackville Street after Lionel Sackville, first Duke of Dorset, from the late 1700 until 1924. Eventually, the street was called O'Connell in honour of Daniel O'Connell, a nationalist leader of the 19th century and whose statue stands at the lower end of the street facing O'Connell Bridge.
The reason why we always consider it an important pin on the map of Dublin which tourists will be following is the location of the street, which is found in the heart of Dublin city, the capital of Ireland, and thus brings all those tourists to it. O'Connell street runs through the centre of the city, O'Connell Bridge, Westmoreland Street, College Green and Dame Street, terminating at City Hall and Dublin Castle and is also situated north the River Liffey; so one would definitely come across these places while being in Dublin.
Regardless its location and the different things one could do in this street from shopping to enjoying the nightlife, it is important to mention all the different statues which you will get the chance to come across and see while walking in this street and which come in addition to the famous statue of Daniel O'Connell which stands at the lower end of the street where the O'Connell Bridge is located.
From the different statues that you will manage to come across in O'Connell, there is the William Smith O'Brian which was moved to the street in 1929. There is also the Sir John Gray which is carved entirely of white Sicilian marble. Inside this street you will also come across James Larkin which is an expressive bronze statue atop a granite plinth and on which the birth date on Larkin was written incorrectly but was then written in the right way. There is also the Father Theobald Mathew, Charles Stewart Parnell, and Nelson's Pillar.
There are also some famous and important buildings situated around O'Connell street, such as St. Mary's Pro Cathedral, the Rotunda Hospital, Trinity college ( and the Bank of Ireland.
The old O'Connell street is not like the modern one in regards of its wideness and the shops found in it. There were other things done to the place and which are related to removing things and substituting them with others, such as the removal of all the London Plane trees and the installation of over 200 replacement of various species and lots of other things which were done as some kind of trying to correct the wrong things done in the past and turning this street into a more modernized place for people to walk, enjoy their times, and at the same time come across different statues and public art, since the longest public art in the world is found in O'Connell street.
There are actually lots of reasons why this street is considered a must when it comes to the different popular places and attractions that one will visit and definitely pass by in Dublin, Northern Ireland.
There are different places and landmarks that one will need to visit when it comes to Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, and which are the Dublinia Viking Museum that reveals the history of the vikings and the medieval times ( there is also Grafton street which is considered the number one shopping destination in Dublin ( as well as going to the Merrion Square and walking across its famous garden where the statue of Oscar Wilde is located ( and going to the place where the famous statue of Molly Malone is located to know more about the history behind the song as well as take some pictures with it (
Wondering what to do in Dublin? Add a walk along O'Connell Street into your list, you will probably do it anyway :-)

Future 1916 Easter Rising Museum - Moore Street Dublin
A 3D fly-through animation showing a vision for the proposed 1916 Rebellion Museum , restoration and conservation project, Moore Street, Dublin, Ireland. Featuring narration by John Connolly. Produced by ALL3D.
The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca),[1] also known as the Easter Rebellion and referred to erroneously in some contemporary British reports as the Sinn Féin Rebellion,[2] was an armed insurrection staged in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916. The Rising was mounted by Irish republicans with the aims of ending British rule in Ireland and establishing an independent Irish Republic at a time when the United Kingdom was heavily engaged in World War I. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1798.[3]
Organised by seven members of the Military Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood,[4] the Rising began on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, and lasted for six days. Members of the Irish Volunteers — led by schoolteacher and barrister Patrick Pearse, joined by the smaller Irish Citizen Army of James Connolly, along with 200 members of Cumann na mBan — seized key locations in Dublin and proclaimed the Irish Republic independent of the United Kingdom. There were some actions in other parts of Ireland: however, except for the attack on the Royal Irish Constabulary barracks at Ashbourne, County Meath, they were minor.
The Rising was suppressed after six days of fighting, and its leaders were court-martialled and executed, but it succeeded in bringing physical force republicanism back to the forefront of Irish politics. Support for republicanism continued to rise in Ireland as a result of the ongoing war in Europe and the Middle East, especially as a result of the Conscription Crisis of 1918. Revolutions across Europe further emboldened Irish revolutionaries. In December 1918, republicans (then represented by the Sinn Féin party) won 73 Irish seats out of 105 in the 1918 General Election to the British Parliament, on a policy of abstentionism and Irish independence. They convened the First Dáil and declared the independence of the Irish Republic, and later that same day the Irish War of Independence began with the Soloheadbeg ambush.
Easter Sunday Parade Dublin 2010
Just happened to be walking down O'Connell Street, Dublin on Sunday afternoon as the Easter Parade was approaching and then passing me by - and I was so glad since it is such a treat seeing the Dublin Easter Parade compared to any other - especially with the symbolic GPO building in the background - a locale which was the main setting of the historic 1916 Easter Uprising back 94 years ago when members of the Irish Volunteers, led by Patrick Pearse, joined by the smaller Irish Citizen Army of James Connolly, along with 200 members of Cumann na mBan, seized key locations in Dublin and proclaimed the Irish Republic independent of Britain. Not even a hundred years ago but in that time the country has evolved (some might argue regressed) so much in so many ways. Word has it that in the country's current dismal post Celtic Tiger serious recession status that he intended big 100 year anniversary of 1916 being planned for 2016 has had to be scaled back dramatically due to lack of funds. Maybe it is time for another uprising/rebellion?
