    Heads up all you historians and art experts!

    Im looking to do an art project on the following monuments..

    The Clock Tower
    Reginalds Tower
    The new Thomas Francis Meagher monument at the Tower Hotel
    The black sculpture in John Roberts Square
    The Formby and Conningbeg monument at the Tower Hotel

    and.. The big white sculpture that towers above the Plaza.


    The kind of stuff Im after is the basic history of each (The Reginalds tower and TF Meagher ones are ok there) and what materials they are made of , who designed and made them etc.

    Thanks!!!

    The Plaza sculpture represents the marraige of Aoife and Strongbow and it's shaped that way to reflect viking boats. That's all I can help you with.
