Ulick Canning de Burgh, Lord Dunkellin (English: /ˈjuːlɪk dəˈbɜːr ... dʌnˈkɛlɪn/ YOO-lik də-BUR ... dun-KEL-in; 12 July 1827 – 16 August 1867) was an Anglo-Irish soldier and politician who served during the Crimean War and was Military Secretary to the Viceroy of India and MP for Galway Borough (1857–65) and County Galway (1865–67).
However, the statue was torn down after Irish independence in 1922, partly on account of his brother Hubert de Burgh-Canning who was a notoriously unpopular landlord in County Galway.
[1] Dunkellin was the eldest son of Ulick de Burgh, 1st Marquess of Clanricarde, and the Hon.
In 1856, Dunkellin was Military Secretary to the Viceroy of India, his uncle Lord Canning, and also served as a volunteer on the staff during the Anglo-Persian War (1856-57).
Prominent as an Adullamite, he moved the amendment on the Parliamentary Reform Bill on 18 June 1866, which later led to the fall of the government of Earl Russell.
