The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr. Vincent Jackson, unveiled the monument at City Quay Park on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay now renamed Elizabeth O’Farrell Park in January.

Cllr. Daithí Doolan said: “I am delighted that Dublin City Council has agreed to honour Elizabeth O’Farrell in a fitting and honourable manner here in Dublin’s south inner city by unveiling a monument in City Quay where she was born. To many, Elizabeth O’Farrell will be known as Nurse O’Farrell, who while accompanying Padraig Pearse, handed over the official surrender to the British forces at Moore Lane in Easter 1916.

“Elizabeth, a member of Cumman na mBan, played a full and active role in the Rising of 1916. I hope we can use this event to reflect on her role in 1916 and ensure that women like Elizabeth take their rightful place in the records of Irish history.”
