Gifford says of MacCabe that "From an Irish point of view he was a 'townsman,' with little interest in land reform or Home Rule, the two central political issues of his time."
A prone sculpture of the cardinal, tended at the head and feet by four ministering angels, tops the sarcophagus within the monument.
