This statue of Queen Victoria, arrayed on a light grey stone plinth, is the work of Irish sculptor John Hughes. This statue stood outside the Irish Houses of Parliament in Leinster House, Dublin, until 1947 and was given to the people of Sydney by the Government of the Republic of Ireland. It was placed on its present site in 1987.
