Monument sited in lawn just inside northwest entrance to St. Stephen's Green, to east of Royal Dublin Fusiliers Arch.
Memorial to the Fenian leader Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa (1831-1915), at whose funeral Patrick Pearse gave his famous oration. The likeness of the subject is cast on a medallion-like metal surface set into a large granite boulder, giving the monument an understated, but dignified presence. The sculptor was Seamus Murphy. It was unveiled on the 6th June 1954 by President Seán T. Ó Ceallaigh. It is part of a highly significant group of commemorative monuments in the park.
