This memorial commemorates John Mandeville, a native of Mitchelstown and a leader in the Land League wars of the 1880s, who died in 1888 having spent two months in Tullamore Jail. The other men commemorated, Casey, Lonergan and Shinnick, were shot in 1887 in New Market Square by police. This statue exhibits fine craftsmanship and the monument has a strong presence due its setting in New Market Square and facing the town's main thoroughfare.
