1880 – Field-Marshal Gough Statue, Phoenix Park, Dublin

Sculptor: John Henry Foley

The statue was proposed in 1869, but Dublin Corporation turned down the various sites proposed including the then Carlisle Bridge, Foster Place and Westmoreland Street. Designed by John Henry Foley, who died before completion, the horse was cast from a previous statue by Foley of Viscount Hardinge. The statue received much abuse before its demise, losing its head and sword in 1944, a rear leg in 1956, before being finally blown off the pedestal in 1957.
