Summary

Description

Thomas Drummond, member of the Royal Engineers, and one time Irish Under-Secretary lies below. A man whose dying words, when asked whether he would like to be buried in his native Scotland or Ireland replied “In Ireland, the land of my adoption; I have loved her well and served her faithfully, and lost my life in her service.” He is credited with inventing the ‘Drummond Light’ which enabled the first ordnance survey of Ireland and the UK. But in his political life he was a controversial figure, often petitioning for the underdog; he set about attempting the biggest overhaul of the Irish Poor Law system in 1838. A statue in his memory sits opposite Daniel O’Connell in City Hall. Inscription reads:
Last words,
"Bury me in Ireland
The land of my adoption
I have loved her well,

and served her faithfully."
