In the heart of the city at the end of O'Connell Street stands a full-size statue of Daniel O'Connell. O'Connell was a Member of Parliament whose main claim to fame was that he succeeded in achieving Catholic Emancipation in Ireland in 1829. In Irish history he is known as the "Liberator". The commemorative statue of this popular leader was commissioned in the early 19th century. It was designed by the Irish sculptor John Hogan. The statue is also seen in the well-known film Angela's Ashes.
