Eyre Square sits Albert Power's sculpture of Galway author Pádhraig Ó Conaire.
Unveiled in 1934, it is one of the cities most cherished monuments. The limestone statue immortalises the writer, sitting at his work. Pádhraig's birthplace was a pub in the docks area, not far from where his statue stands today. In his short lifespan (1882 - 1928), he produced 24 books, including 100 short stories, all written in the Irish language. |
