Show Notes
In 1898, tens of thousands of people paraded in Dublin for the unveiling of a foundation stone to a Wolfe Tone statue. So why did it not happen? Only in 1967 did Edward Delaney's tribute to Tone appear on St Stephen's Green. In this podcast, celebrating the fact the Tone monument is part of Dublin City Council's Dublin Winter Lights, Delaney's son and biographer joins me at the memorial to talk about one of my favourite Dublin statues.
