Ulick de Burgh, Lord Dunkellin

Ulick Canning de Burgh, Lord Dunkellin (12 July 1827 – 16 August 1867) was an Anglo-Irish soldier and politician. A statue was erected to him in Eyre Square, Galway in 1873 in honour of his military career, and political career as MP for Galway Borough and County Galway. However, the statue was torn down after Irish independence in 1922, partly on account of his brother Hubert de Burgh-Canning who was a notoriously unpopular landlord in County Galway.
