President Eamonn de Valera admires the seven foot bronze statue of Irish patriot
President Eamonn de Valera admires the seven foot bronze statue of Irish patriot Robert Emmet after the statue had been presented to the government and people of Ireland as part of the 1916 Jubilee Commemoration ceremonies, by US Congressman Daniel J Flood, of Pensylvania (right), in Dublin yesterday. Emmet was hanged in 1803 after an abortive revolt against the British.
The statue was a replica of one carried out by Jerome Connor, an Irishman who emigrated to the US in 1876. The statue was located in an antique dealers yard in Pennsylvania. It was purchased by Mr and Mrs Francis J Kane, of Washington DC, last year and presented on their behalf by the congressman.
