By Elizabeth McKenna, 6th Class

What a chariot! Red, blue and gold,

with golden designs, ornate and bold,

drawn through the streets of Dublin City

by six splendid horses and not one person showed pity.

He sat there on his gilded seat,

what a lucky man to have such a crowd

to watch him go through Dublin’s beautiful city.

Who is this man you ask, well of course

it’s Ireland’s most celebrated and

adored man of his time – Daniel O’Connell.
