La statue d’Hibernia, qui est érigée au sommet de la Poste centrale de Dublin, dont l’occupation en 1916 a marqué le début du soulèvement de Pâques. Elle est un symbole de l’Irlande. Son nom reprend le terme utilisé en grec ancien pour désigner ce pays. Œuvre du sculpteur John Smyth, cette statue est considérée comme un témoin des événements de 1916. Depuis un siècle, elle observe la nation s’épanouir à la lumière des valeurs inscrites dans la Proclamation. Son regard reste résolument tourné vers l’avenir. Elle symbolise à la fois le passé, le présent et l’avenir du pays.
