Commemorative statue to Irish revolutionary figure, one of the founder members of the United Irishmen. Throughout his political career, Tone was involved in a number of military engagements against the British navy. He was active in drawing Irish Catholics and Protestants together and in soliciting French assistance for an insurrection. In November 1798, on his second attempt to land in Ireland with French troops and supplies, he was captured by British naval forces. The United Irish risings of the summer had already been crushed. Tone died in advance of his scheduled execution, probably by his own hand. ☘️
