The Father Mathew Statue in Cork is a renowned statue of Father Theobald Mathew found on St. Patrick’s Street. Father Mathew was the Apostle of Temperance and served for most of his life in Cork, eventually becoming one of the most influential social figures of the 19th century. He made massive efforts to ease distress during the cholera epidemic as well as during the Great Famine. The monument to him was erected and unveiled in 1864 as a way of showing the respect and love the citizens of Cork had for him. The statue still stands tall today, overlooking the people of Cork with great affection.
