The Statue: Cork's Monument To Father Matthew, Apostle of Temperance

by Antoin O'Callaghan

  

ISBN: 9780992883706

In his new book Antoin O'Callaghan recounts Fr. Mathew's early life in Cork - the temperance campaign, the Famine era, the difficulties with his personal finances. The heart of this book, however, is the story of the commissioning and erection of the statue: who first proposed a monument to the much-loved priest, how the money was gathered, the involvement of two eminent 19th century Irish sculptors, Hogan and Foley, and the selection of such a prominent location for the statue.

The Statue, and its importance to Corkonians, is brought to life in the final section, when eighteen people from a variety of backgrounds share their memories, observations and responses to Cork's best known monument.
