The National Monument Grand Parade was erected to commemorate the Irish Patriots who died during the period 1798 - 1867. Located in Cork City centre on an area where the Grand Parade joins The South Mall which is beside the south channel of the River Lee.

The Monument is held in early Irish Gothic style, in the form of a tower with in the center a statue of Mother Erin, and features on the four corners statues of:
WOLFE TONE - Theobald Wolfe Tone (Dublin 1763 - Dublin 1798), Irish revolutionary figure and one of the founding members of the United Irishmen; regarded as the father of Irish republicanism
DWYER - Michael Dwyer (Camara, Co. Wicklow 1772 - Liverpool, NSW, Australia 1825), United Irishmen leader in the 1798 rebellion. He later fought a guerilla campaign against the British Army in the Wicklow Mountains from 1798-1803.
DAVIS - Thomas Davis (Mallow, Co. Cork, 1814 - Dublin 1845), revolutionary Irish writer who was the chief organiser and poet of the Young Ireland movement.
O'NEILL CROWLEY - Peter O'Neill Crowley (Aughavine, Co. Cork 1831 - 1867), leader of the 100-strong IRB unit in Ballymacoda, near Youghal, during the Fenian rising of 1867.
