Questa è una lamentela molto di nicchia, attenzione.
Nel 2006, la marina argentina ha regalato al popolo irlandese una statua in bronzo dell’ammiraglio Brown. Il governo e la marina argentini erano presenti alla cerimonia di inaugurazione.
Nel 2012 è stato trasferito dalla sua posizione originale su una strada laterale a Sir John Rogerson’s Quay e sono stati aggiunti un piedistallo e una targa. Fin qui tutto bene. Ma l’iscrizione sulla nuova targa (2012) ora recita, per quanto riguarda le sue origini, “svelata dal sindaco di Dublino Naoise Ó Muirí, il 25 agosto 2012”.

Politicians love to shove their names on plaques. Any excuse
Sir John sounded like a pos maybe the quay should have been unveiled with a new name while they were at it.
Really old photo? Is it still there?
Is that classed as “pulling a fast one”?
I could argue the plaque was unveiled in 2012 by Naoise. Niche argument
The side street it used to be located on is called Admiral Brown Walk if I remember correctly. I remember when it was there originally.
Why the hell is this in Dublin and not Foxford in Mayo where Brown originated from?.
Did Admiral Brown fight for the liberation of the Malvina`s? ..
Was admiral brown a mercenary or was he hired as a consultant as we would say today. Presumably ex royal navy in that he was trained to run ships. An interesting story.

There is a monument dedicated to him in the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. Was there a few years ago.
The politician himself likely didn’t even know it wasnt a new statue, nevermind the backstory. Someone in the Council would have been responsible for the plaques and probably just discarded or recycled the old one. Lazy work more likely than any other culprit here.
