Phoenix Park, Dublin
In 1882, Lord Frederick Cavendish, the newly elected Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Thomas Henry Burke, the Permanent Undersecretary, were fatally stabbed in this lovely Dublin park. Cavendish’s death was unfortunately incidental! The radical Irish National Invincibles had been trying to assasinate the Undersecretary for a while, and Cavendish just happened to be hanging out in the park with his friend Burke at the same time.
