This memorial was erected in memory of Patrick Sheahan a constable in the Dublin Metropolitan Police Force who lost his life on the sixth day of May 1905 in a noble and self-sacrificing effort to rescue John Fleming who had in the discharge of his duties descended the main sewer close by this spot and was overcome by sewer gas. It was also intended to commemorate the bravery of a number of other citizens who also descended the sewer to assist in rescuing the beforementioned thereby risking their lives to save those of their fellow men.
