WOLFE TONE BY NOEL KEATING AND EDDIE DELANEY
At the Merrion Row corner of St. Stephen's Green you will find a bronze statue of Theobald Wolfe Tone, the leader of the 1798 rebellion. Flanked by monoliths, it was immediately nicknamed 'Tonehenge' by the local population.
In 1964 the architect Noel Keating and the sculptor Eddie Delaney won a competition to create the Wolfe Tone monument at the corner of St Stephen’s Green. That year Delaney was selected to make the Thomas Davis memorial on College Green.
Tone stands in alone in front of a collection of granite monoliths, which prompted the nickname Tonehenge. It should be noted that there is companion piece, the Famine Memorial, located just behind the granite pillars.
