My body to Ireland, my heart to Rome and my soul to heaven. A great photograph of the inside of Daniel OConnells tomb at Glasnevin, taken by Peter ODoherty Dublin & Ireland Photos. In January 1971, the UVF bombed the OConnell tomb and damaged its staircase, taking away from us one of the finest views we have of Dublin. The UVF had it out for OConnell it seems, having bombed his monument on OConnell Street two years previously in 1969, blowing one of the four winged figures from her base. Our friends at Storymap Dublin recorded a great video inside the Daniel OConnell tomb with the historian Shane MacThomais in 2011: youtube/watch?v=RFj_JurJ6HM
