The statue of Hibernia, which is erected atop the Central Post Office in Dublin, whose occupation in 1916 marked the beginning of the Easter Rising. It is a symbol of Ireland. Its name is based on the ancient Greek term for the country. Work of the sculptor John Smyth, this statue is considered a witness of the events of 1916. For a century, it has watched the nation flourish in the light of the values enshrined in the Proclamation. Its gaze remains resolutely focused on the future. It symbolizes the past, the present and the future of the country.Automatically translated
