The column is great and looks monumental, though it's not actually all that huge.
It's at the top of O'Connell, if you use the Aircoach service (Stop Gresham Hotel/O'Connell Upper), or get on a bus tour, you might as well have a look.
Quite nice to look at at night and the streets aren't so busy then.

This tall and beautiful monument (at the junction of Parnell and O'connell) commemorates Charles Stewart Parnell, one of the most important political figures in 19thCent. Ireland. Impressive.
One of the historical monuments, free visit. Beautiful!
This monument is to Charles Parnell, the Irish Nationalist, whose legacy eventually lead to independence for Ireland.
The statue itself features Parnell standing, his right arm stretched out as if addressing a crowd, his left hand resting on a draped table. Behind him stands a 17 metre high obelisk with the words inscribed the words "To Charles Stewart Parnell. No Man has a right to fix the boundary to the march of a nation. No man has a right to say to his country. Thus far shalt thou go and no further".
The statue has a QR code which you can use to hear a speech made by Parnell.

Great monument.
Another one of the monuments of O’Connell street is the statue of Charles Stewart Parnell, revered nationalist political leader. You’ll find his monument sitting at the top of O’Connell Street, at the entrance to the square named in his honor. The monument features his famous words, “No man has a right to fix the boundary to the march of a nation. To say to his country ‘thus far shall thou go and no further.’” It is commonly joked in Dublin that the statue was constructed to point in the direction of the Rotunda Hospital, which was once Dublin’s main maternity hospital, the humor being that Parnell was encouraging the Irish Nation to out-breed their enemies.
