Puigdemont’s arrest: Catalan leader is not a criminal

When Britain’s Queen Elizabeth visited Ireland in May 2011 she was shown a small statue of her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, by college historian John A Murphy and told the strange story of how, in 1934, amidst republican fervour, the beautiful limestone sculpture was buried in the garden of UCC.

It was finally unearthed in 1995 to mark the 150th anniversary of what used to be Queen’s University Cork.
